Rare Ivory Open Field Tribal Medallion Antique Square Persian Karajeh Rug

Antique Karajeh Persian Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of a karajeh weaving, originating from the rugged mountains of Northwest Persia, showcases the robust, graphic aesthetic characteristic of village production during the late Qajar era. Its Square format and powerful composition make it a striking decorative piece. The expansive, luminous field is rendered in a soft, sun-bleached ivory color, providing a stark contrast to the deep, saturated tones of the medallion and spandrels. The central motif is a highly stylized, multi-layered starburst, executed with precision in deep indigo, rust, and madder red, anchoring the design with tribal complexity. The dark, dramatic spandrels are filled with dense, angular geometric and stylized floral patterns, creating a powerful visual frame for the open field.
