Heriz · circa 1960

Karaja runner

Price on request

385 × 108 cm · 12′8″ × 3′7″

From Karaja, the village north of Heriz whose weavers specialised in runners, a procession of hooked medallions marching down a brick ground. The repeat is steady without being mechanical — each medallion drawn freshly, none identical.

At nearly four metres it suits a generous hallway or landing, and the tough Azerbaijan wool is made for exactly that duty.

Each piece is one of one, acquired personally on your behalf. Online acquisitions open with the release of our inaugural collection; enquiries are welcomed now. Fully insured delivery within the United Kingdom and Europe.
