Semi-Antique Karadja Runner

This is a good old Karadja Runner in excellent condition. Karaja is the home of some of the finest runners made in Iran of which this is a good example. Karaja is a collection point on the western edge of the Heriz production area. This rug however is an authentic Karaja because the distinctive medallions are a sign of the Karaja production.

The rug is single wefted and has medium length pile. The wool quality is very good and the dyes seem good. This is a very good old piece that should give years of service. This rug has very good color, one of the reds may seem a touch hot but the runner certainly looks a very good older piece. Everything in harmony. On my monitor the medium blue looks a little hot but in the rug it looks fine.
