This mid-20th century northwest Persian Karaché runner is hand-knotted in wool and showcases a vibrant brick-red field, a classic hallmark of the region’s weaving tradition. A vertical chain of boldly drawn hexagonal and stepped medallions, rendered in deep indigo, ivory, and warm earth tones, anchors the composition. Surrounding the medallions is a scattering of small-scale tribal motifs, including hooked devices, geometric floral forms, and angular latticework that lend movement and texture throughout the field.
The runner is framed by a traditional Karaché border system featuring a dark main border filled with repeating geometric rosettes, flanked by ivory guard stripes with serrated and zigzag elements. The combination of crisp drawing, rich dyes, and balanced proportions reflects the sturdy village craftsmanship characteristic of northwest Iranian weaving in the mid-20th century. Durable and visually striking, this piece is ideally suited for hallways, entry spaces, and architectural corridors
