Discover the Tribal Grandeur of an Antique Persian Karajeh Rug
Step into the rich heritage of tribal weaving with this authentic handmade antique Persian Karajeh rug, crafted in the early 20th century in Northwest Persia. Hailing from a region deeply influenced by Caucasian weaving traditions, Karajeh rugs are prized for their intricate geometric patterns, bold tribal symbolism, and remarkable durability. This elongated piece, dating from the 1910s, has been hand-knotted from 100% natural wool and remains in good condition—a true testament to its exceptional craftsmanship and enduring beauty.
Rich Red Hues and Intricate Geometric Motifs
The rug's field is rendered in a deep red or rust tone, evoking warmth and grounded energy. It is filled with interconnected geometric medallions—often stepped or star-shaped—arranged in a rhythmic and balanced all-over design. Within these motifs lie smaller tribal symbols, hooks, and angular floral abstractions in a striking palette of dark and light blues, creamy ivory, and earthy browns.
The design is framed by a series of narrow, multi-layered borders. These include serrated edges, latch-hook patterns, and symbolic devices—each carefully placed and executed to reflect generations of tribal knowledge. The tightly woven low pile ensures that every detail remains sharp and visually compelling.
Enduring Quality and Handcrafted Authenticity
This rug has been hand-knotted using time-honored Persian techniques passed down through generations. The use of high-quality, hand-spun wool contributes to its strength, flexibility, and long lifespan. Despite its age, the rug remains in good structural condition, with naturally aged fringes and only minor signs of wear appropriate to its vintage. Its authentic character and refined craftsmanship make it a collector-worthy textile.
A Timeless Accent for Characterful Spaces
Whether placed in a hallway, beside a bed, in front of a fireplace, or as a centerpiece in a reading nook, this antique Karajeh rug brings soul and artistry to any space. Its elongated size and tribal design make it an ideal accent for rustic, traditional, bohemian, or even modern minimalist interiors. Rich in symbolism and history, it is more than just a decorative object—it is a piece of cultural heritage ready to enrich your home.
