The midnight field is scattered with small diamonds in cream, gold and rose. Down its length, handsome brick red octagonal medallions alternate with gold eight-pointed stars. Each medallion holds a gold leaf-filled lozenge at its core within wavy lines, with hooked arms at its four corners. A small key pendant sits above and below each one. Four small octagons gather around every star. A splendid main border shares the midnight ground and carries stepped stars in rose, gold and cream. Guard stripes of rose sawtooth run along both sides of it. The pile is low, and every color holds at full strength. The dense drawing brings warm brick and gold to a long hall against deep midnight. At 2'10\" by 11'8\", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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. Britannica says the runners of Gharajeh resemble those of Karabagh in the Caucasus but look more Persian. 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. That layout suits long formats, and runners are the pieces the district is known for. This runner keeps that column, with hooked octagons and gold stars set one after another down its narrow midnight field. Its border repeats stepped stars in rose, gold and cream between rose sawtooth stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
