Description

A stunning Antique Karaja runner woven with faded brick red tones, rare green stars and an amazing soft red border.  For a tribal runner, it has been woven by an expert weaver as the proportions of the pattern have been well executed.  The motifs with small intricate flowers is an amazing skill to weave and this runner is a rare smaller size too.

The condition is excellent, a thick wool pile and all showing, a lovely, tough, and durable antique runner over 130 years old.  The weave is very fine as well, an incredibly tough piece for a corridor.

We offer the professional service of viewing any of our carpets & rugs in-situ by appointment or you are very welcome to visit our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey.  Request a home visit to see this exceptional antique Karaja runner at home at a convenient time for you.

North West Persian origin, this type is impossible to name to particular tribe or village,  they use several attributes from the Caucasus (the colours in particular) along with bold motifs similar to Persian decorative carpets such as Ziegler and Sultanabad.  The one thing we can be sure is that the weave is of North Persian origin going into Azerbaijan, this paragraph below is from a reputable carpet publication, it helps clarify the sometimes difficult task of specifying an exact weaving area.
