This unusual and collectible Karaja rug stands out not only for its rare cream ground and sought-after size, but also for a fascinating weaving story hidden in its construction—adding charm and intrigue for collectors and connoisseurs.
What makes this rug truly unique is its unseen blend of weaves. The piece appears uniform from the front, but a closer inspection reveals that the first 15 cm were woven in a Serapi weave, likely by one weaver, before the remainder was continued in a Karaja weave by another. This seamless transition speaks to both the adaptability of tribal weaving traditions and the collaborative nature of rug production in village settings.
The design features multiple Karaja-style medallions, symmetrically arranged on a clean cream background, which makes the colours and forms stand out beautifully. The rug is anchored by a royal blue geometric border, rich in typical Karaja motifs that add structure and contrast.
Some minor areas of low pile are present—expected with age and use—but they do not detract from the rug’s overall integrity or aesthetic.
This is a piece that combines rarity, craftsmanship, and a story—perfect for those seeking something truly special.
