Antique Khamseh Nomadic Rug. 180cm X 135cm.

19th century
Description

2nd half 19th century.

Almost certainly a nomadic piece as opposed to a village weaving and probably by the arab-jabbareh of the khamseh confederation. South west persia,

In this weaving are a lot of smaller details including the bird motifs with no legs and a strange beak within the ivory ground central medallions. The obvious pecking chickens.

The comb motifs and a kind of animal with geometric motifs from head and tail and as feet scattered about the dark blue field colour.

All in all a very charming and more unusual khamseh.

The condition is all over low pile with wear. End fringes are cotton and sewn on later. Complete side cord loss both sides. Having said all that it is very tidy and ready to use as is and priced accordingly. Plenty of detailed images of rug.

I do have better khamseh's in stock with full piles and restored but people hard pushed to buy the 'better" rugs so now am offering lower condition examples at a fraction of the money.

Size is 5 foot 11 inches by 4 foot 5 inches. 180cm X 135cm. At widest points. Fringes not measured in size. All wool construction. End fringes later and made from cotton.

U.k post £16.

Many more restored,unrestored rugs and everything in between at very reasonable prices.

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 rugs originate from the Khamseh Confederation, a historic alliance of nomadic tribes in South Persia. These rugs are recognized for their bold geometric patterns, dark indigo and terracotta colour palettes, and stylized animal or bird motifs woven from memory.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, although some examples feature cotton warps. The wool yarn is typically dyed using natural vegetable dyes, providing rich tonal variations across the pattern.

Authentic Khamseh carpets feature flexible wool foundations, asymmetrical hand-knotted construction, and distinctive design elements such as stylized bird motifs or geometric medallions. The weave often displays minor structural irregularities characteristic of nomadic horizontal looms.

A tribal rug adds visual warmth and texture to contemporary, minimalist, or traditional settings. Placing it over neutral flooring, under a coffee table, or within an entry hallway grounds the space with historic colour and geometric interest.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment to prevent fibre damage. Blot liquid spills immediately with a clean cloth, rotate the rug annually to balance sun exposure, and utilise professional cleaning services specialized in historic textiles.
