The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Khamseh carpets originate from the Khamseh Confederation, a group of nomadic tribes in Fars province, southwestern Persia. The Morghi design, translating to bird, features stylized avian motifs repeated throughout the field, reflecting pastoral tribal life.

These carpets are hand-knotted using wool pile tied onto a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. Artisans historically used natural, plant-derived dyes, such as madder root for reds and indigo for blues.

Authentic pieces display geometric diamond-shaped medallions, dense repeats of small stylized bird motifs, a dark indigo or crimson field, and tribal borders with geometric motifs and soft wool construction.

A large tribal carpet acts as a visual anchor in living rooms, dining rooms, or libraries. Its geometric patterns and saturated tones complement rich timber furniture, leather upholstery, and contemporary neutral backdrops.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotary brush to protect the pile. Rotate the carpet annually to equalize foot traffic, utilize an underlay pad, and seek professional hand-wash cleaning when required.
