About the Item

This exquisite antique Kareje rug, handwoven circa 1920, is a true testament to the rich weaving heritage of northwestern Persia. Measuring approximately 4.5 x 6 feet, this piece showcases a masterful balance of geometric precision and artistic expression, making it a striking addition to any space. The rug’s design is centered around an intricate, elongated hexagonal medallion, flanked by angular motifs and surrounded by a dark navy field. This deep indigo background provides a dramatic contrast, allowing the lighter hues of ivory, soft blue, warm rust, and golden brown to stand out beautifully. One of the most captivating aspects of this rug is its expertly arranged motifs, which include stylized floral elements, symbolic tribal figures, and interconnected angular designs, all woven with remarkable detail. The medallion itself is adorned with intricate patterns, resembling the architectural elements often found in Persian and Caucasian rug designs. Surrounding this centerpiece, secondary geometric shapes and rosettes add further layers of complexity, demonstrating the artisan’s attention to detail and skillful composition. Framing the entire design is a beautifully crafted red border, filled with a repeating vine and rosette pattern interwoven with delicate floral and botanical elements. The use of natural dyes gives this rug an extraordinary depth of color, with the warm red tones adding a touch of vibrancy that perfectly complements the cool blues and neutral shades within the field. The natural wool fibers, hand-dyed using traditional methods, have developed a beautiful patina over the past century, further enhancing the rug’s vintage charm and authenticity. Not only does this Kareje rug boast exceptional craftsmanship, but it also offers a high level of durability due to its dense, hand-knotted wool pile. The high-quality wool provides both softness underfoot and resilience, ensuring this piece can be cherished for generations to come. Whether placed in a living room, study, entryway, or even as a decorative wall hanging, this antique Persian rug brings warmth, history, and a touch of old-world elegance to any interior setting. A rare and collectible piece, this circa 1920 Kareje rug is perfect for collectors and interior designers alike, offering a unique blend of tradition, artistry, and timeless sophistication.
