A finely woven circa 1900 Northwest Persian Karaché carpet, featuring an intricate allover geometric lattice set upon a deep indigo field. The design is composed of repeating octagonal and star-form medallions, each articulated with crisp angular motifs in shades of rust red, saffron, ivory, and sky blue, accented by the sought-after touches of emerald green that elevate the composition.
The border system is classic for the region, with a wide primary band showcasing stylized samovar (semavar) motifs and floral rosettes, framed by multiple guard borders that balance the density of the field. The palette is rich yet harmonious, with natural dyes exhibiting both depth and subtle abrash characteristic of authentic Northwest Persian village weaving of the period.
This piece exemplifies the strength and graphic clarity associated with Karache workshops—striking, collectible, and eminently decorative.
