Heritage and Craftsmanship
The Karaja region in northwest Iran is renowned for its distinctive tribal weaving tradition, where angular motifs and bold geometric patterns reflect centuries of artistic heritage. These runners were created for the long corridors of traditional homes, their narrow width and extended length perfectly suited to architectural pathways.
Design Elements
This runner features a rhythmic procession of geometric medallions with stylized eagle or crab-like motifs, characteristic signatures of Karaja weaving. The tribal symmetry, angular drawing, and confident color relationships demonstrate the region's celebrated graphic vocabulary. Each medallion stands as a distinct element while contributing to the balanced composition that unfolds along the runner's length.
Placement
The distinctive 2' 11'' x 12' 8'' dimensions make this runner ideal for extended hallways, gallery corridors, or as a dramatic accent along kitchen islands or dining spaces. Its vibrant palette anchored by rose pink creates an energetic focal point, particularly effective in spaces with neutral walls and minimal competing patterns.
Care Recommendations
To preserve the rug's beauty:
Rotate periodically for even wear
Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting
Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing
Professional cleaning recommended annually
Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity
Persian Karaja runners exemplify the perfect fusion of tribal artistic expression and practical design. Their graphic boldness and architectural presence create pathways of visual interest that energize contemporary spaces with authentic cultural resonance.
