About this rug

Small cream camels and birds stand in the open ground of this delightful runner. The navy field holds a vertical column of handsome medallions in deep red, olive and cream, with a pointed medallion at the top and another at the bottom. Each medallion differs, mixing stepped diamonds with hooked forms, and small cream camels and birds stand in the open ground. The dark field stays open at the corners. A burgundy main border carries small rosettes and serrated leaves in cream and blue, between thin bands of cream and olive with tiny crosses. Full pile covers every part of the rug, and the bold drawing stays sharp. It suits a narrow passage, where the deep blue ground and the red medallions give it weight. At 3'1" by 7'7", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a bed.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.

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. Britannica says the runners of Gharajeh resemble those of Karabagh in the Caucasus but look more Persian. North of Heriz in northwestern Persia lies the village district of Gharajeh, also written Karaja. The district’s signature is a column of separate medallions running down a narrow field, each one a different shape, instead of one centered medallion. The layout suits long formats, so Gharajeh runners are what the district is known for. This piece keeps the stack of changing forms in a long format. Its navy ground is darker than the red of the medallions and the border, which gives the drawing a cooler weight.

The Craft

Made 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.
