A column of stepped stars runs the full length of this lovely runner. Beige carries the whole field, a calm ground for the stars and for the small motifs along each side. Each star medallion is rust with a stepped olive outline, and its center alternates between pale blue and navy down the column. Rows of small eight-point stars run beside the medallions, set between stepped bars in rust, olive and navy. The handsome main border is an olive band of small rosettes, held between narrow guard stripes with a rust zigzag. The pile is low. It brings the rust and pale blue of the stars into a long passage, and the beige keeps the length light. At 3'1" by 14'9", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
About Gharajeh rugs
The best-known pattern of Gharajeh is three geometric medallions, the central one with a latch-hooked outline in a different color and the other two eight-pointed stars. Gharajeh, also spelled Karaja, is a village district in northwestern Persia, north of Heriz. Its signature is a column of separate medallions down a narrow field rather than a single centered one, and runners are the pieces the district is known for. This runner keeps that plan, with star medallions set one after another from end to end. Here the stars share one shape, and color does the changing: a pale blue center, then a navy one, all the way down. Small stars and stepped bars line both sides of the beige field.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
