KARAJA
Northwest Persian Antique Rug

(High-Decorative) While this kaleidoscopic, area-size Karaja rug possesses many hallmarks of this ever-popular and adaptable style, there is much more depth than is usually seen in other rugs of this type. An abundance of energetic, whimsical abstractions pay homage to this village’s rich tribal roots, and abstracted floral motifs dance upon an indigo-dyed, shimmery midnight sapphire field. The thrillingly graphic geometricized triple medallions are attended to with a fantastic sharpness, bringing drama to the composition and proudly announcing the legacy of Karaja’s identity. Its continually nuanced color palette enhances every totemic motif and amplifies every visual nuance for a fascinating voyage of discovery for the viewer. Karaja rugs are often found with a ‘samovar’ border pattern. However, this one happily departs from that convention with a lyrical rosette and vine motif also used by neighbors in nearby Bakshaish. Heavier pile condition means that this rug would be a prime candidate to enlighten its surroundings on the floor or be deployed as fascinating art for the wall.
