FAQs

Khamseh rugs are produced by a confederation of nomadic and settled tribes in south-west Persia, historically characterised by intricate geometric motifs, stylised birds, and deep indigo or red backgrounds.

Authentic pieces are hand-knotted using handspun wool for both the pile and the foundation, often employing symmetrical knots and natural vegetable dyes derived from madder, indigo, and other plant sources.

Authentication relies on examining the irregular knot density, organic variations in natural dye colours, hand-finished selvages, and specific tribal iconography such as repeated diamond medallions and zoomorphic figures.

These rugs add warmth and rich texture to modern spaces, working effectively as focal points on hardwood floors or layered over larger neutral jute flooring to anchor contemporary living areas.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, professional specialist cleaning only, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent natural dye fading.
