Woven in the Karadagh (Qarajeh) region northeast of Tabriz, adjacent to the renowned Heriz district and close to the Azerbaijan border, Karaja rugs march chained geometric medallions—three on square formats but often five, seven, or more on elongated runners—across brick‑red, midnight‑blue, or ivory fields. Hand‑knotted entirely from durable local wool with symmetrical knots, they blend Persian craftsmanship with hints of Caucasian flair, making them hardy showpieces for hallways, galley kitchens, and eclectic living spaces
