Quirky Karaja Square - 3'9" x 4'0"
#2552
3’9” x 4’0”
AGE & ORIGIN:
c. 1930
Persia
OVERVIEW:
An outrageous and ostentatious Karaja. This rug may be for someone who finds themselves in the seat of the ‘black sheep’ more often than not, as this rug bucks many-a-tradition set forth by the Karaja family of rugs (the square format, the use of an all-over herati pattern in place of the typical 3-medallions). Not to mention the bombastic color palette and scale that turns a normally consistent motif (Herati) into something akin to an abstract painting.
While this piece may be overlooked by some, the unusual design aspects, good condition, special size and genuine oddity are things that should satisfy even the snobbiest rug connoisseurs.
CONDITION:
Several small moth bites and end loss.
NOTES:
Ends have been knotted or overcasted to prevent further unraveling.
