This antique Karajeh rug displays a classic repeating Herati pattern across the field, with fish-like motifs surrounding diamond shapes inside a rich red ground. The bold navy borders with geometric turtle and vine designs frame the piece and add strong contrast.
Karajeh rugs are woven in villages near Heriz in northwest Persia, known for their sturdy construction and use of high-quality local wool. Made around the early 20th century, they feature natural dyes that give warm, lasting colors. The tight weave and thick pile make them highly durable.
The small size fits well in entryways, beside a bed, or in front of a fireplace. It brings traditional Persian charm to any room while standing up to daily foot traffic. Proper rotation and occasional cleaning will keep it looking good for many years.
