Antique Khamseh Tribal Rug. 214cm X 167cm.

1900 - 1920
Description

South west persia. First quarter 20th century.

Probably by the arab jabbareh tribe of the khamseh confederation.

In virtually perfect order with full lustrous pile,coloured side bindings and ends secured. Plethora of pecking chickens and animals, tribal motifs throughout the design. I especially like the main ivory coloured border with stylised alternating bird motifs.

As ever in these particular arab weavings the colours are absolutely wonderful being made with vegetable dyes which give an almost luminescent appearance especially the blues which is why I am so drawn to tribal rugs from this particular region.

Size is 7 foot by 5 foot 6 inches. 214cm X 167cm. At widest points. All wool construction. Size excluding fringes. U. K post £20.

Price £2150 gbp.

Tak 60.

Many more tribal and associated antique rugs & carpets stocked.

FAQs

Khamseh rugs were woven by a confederacy of nomadic tribes in southwestern Persia (modern-day Iran). They are noted for their rich wool piles, dark indigo and deep red tones, and intricate geometric patterns often incorporating stylised bird and animal motifs surrounding central diamond medallions.

Traditionally, Khamseh carpets feature a pure wool pile hand-knotted onto a wool warp and weft foundation. Nomadic weavers used natural vegetable dyes to create deep blue, madder red, ivory, and ochre shades, yielding a dense, soft, and durable pile.

Authentic pieces display hand-bound selvedges, natural dye variation known as abrash, and slight geometric irregularities characteristic of tribal hand-loom weaving. A key design identifier is the murgh or bird motif repeated throughout the field and border.

A dark-toned tribal carpet creates a grounded anchor in contemporary minimalist rooms, neutral wooden floor settings, or traditional library spaces. Pair with mid-century modern furniture, leather upholstery, or unlacquered brass accents to highlight the rugs saturated hues.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush to protect the fibres. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth, use a rug pad underneath to prevent wear, and arrange professional specialist cleaning every few years.
