Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1890s:
Natural dyes in indigo and madder: plant and insect colourings preceding modern synthetic dyes.
Hand-spun wool foundation visible at the fringe: nomadic weaving traditions of southern Persia.
Even wear across the pile: steady domestic use over many decades.
Stylised bird figures flanking the medallions: nomadic tribal iconography of the Fars region.

This late 19th-century Persian tribal rug is an all-woollen weaving created by the Khamseh or Qashqai nomads of south-west Persia. The piece is rendered in a navy blue, deep red, and ivory palette, displaying three central diamond-shaped medallions alongside geometric peacock motifs, tribal rosettes, and checkerboard spandrels within multi-layered geometric borders. The hand-knotted textile shows a low evenish pile with secured ends and sides, and exhibits fringe tassels at both upper and lower edges. It measures 161 cm high by 109 cm wide by 1 cm deep, excluding fringes. Appropriate for placement in a gentleman's library, study, or hallway, this floor covering adds traditional warmth and cultural character to a domestic interior. The rug suits placement on wooden floorboards or low-pile carpeting to anchor a seating arrangement or accent an entryway, providing a grounding textile element for daily foot traffic.

FAQs

Khamseh and Qashqai rugs are traditional hand-woven textiles crafted by nomadic tribes in southwestern Iran, featuring bold geometric compositions, central medallions, and stylised animal or floral motifs.

These rugs are typically hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes that create subtle tonal variations across the surface.

Authentic tribal pieces display slight asymmetrical irregularities in weave density, soft natural dye aging, hand-bound selvedges, and flexible wool warps rather than rigid machine-made backings.

A tribal rug provides rich visual texture and colour depth, contrasting effectively against contemporary neutral furnishings, polished concrete floors, or traditional dark wood furniture.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater bar prevents fibre degradation, while using a quality rug pad reduces friction wear and professional dry cleaning maintains overall condition.
