Moud is a small village near to Heriz in the Azerbaijan area of Northwest West Asia, one of the most prolific weaving areas. Qarajeh is best known for its production of runners and large carpets, but it is occasionally possible to find smaller weaving production in this area. Carpets are woven on both workshop and cottage industry basis. Although in a village such as Qarajeh it is more typical that a lady working from home, as part of a cottage industry weaves the carpets.
Hooked hexagons or squares are a characteristic of carpets woven in this village. Other typical designs include the use of simple, angular vines, and strong central medallions. Each rug has its own unique charm and will add warmth and comfort to any home.
This particular Karajar runner is preloved but well looked after. The deep reds, forest greens, pinks and ivory are still in a very good condition and have a lovely sheen to them still.
