Karajeh rugs have a unique and fun design among Persian rugs, with attributes that separate them from other rugs knotted in northwestern Iran. One Karajeh attribute are the repeating medallion designs. The only other oriental rug really known for its repeating medallion in this structure is the Turkoman rug from northern and northeastern Iran. Karajeh borders are often simply drawn. The general feel for quality: The quality of Karajeh rugs seem to be woven to represent a balance between a sophisticated, fine look and feel, with a strong and durable make. Color: Dark red is usually the dominant field color in older (circa 1940's and earlier) Karajeh pieces. You will find newer Karajehs with more ivory backgrounds and lighter colors.
