FAQs

Khamseh carpets and textiles are crafted by a confederation of tribes in south-west Persia, traditionally recognised for deep midnight-blue grounds, intricate geometric motifs, and finely knotted wool.

These pieces are handwoven using naturally dyed hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, often utilising symmetrical or asymmetrical knots alongside flatweave techniques.

Authenticity is evaluated through the presence of natural organic dyes, characteristic wool irregularities, hand-spun yarn variations, and traditional tribal iconography such as stylized birds and geometric medallions.

Such historic textile pieces can be framed as wall art, draped over modern furniture, or integrated as small accent floor pieces to add rich texture, warmth, and historical depth to a minimalist room.

Preservation requires keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, regular gentle vacuuming with mesh protection, and avoiding excessive moisture or chemical cleaning agents.
