Antique Khamseh Confederacy Baharlu Tribal Main Carpet

19th century
For Sale by Siez Gallery
Description

Antique Khamseh Confederacy tribal carpet, handwoven by the Turkic-speaking Baharlu sub-tribe, dates back to the late 19th century and stands as an unusual, room-sized 300cm x 220cm dimensions and prestigious raw tribal construction. The complex graphic layout centre's around an oversized, nested triple-lozenge medallion—featuring a core midnight-blue diamond inside a terracotta-red shield—which beautifully balances an expansive, deep indigo field densely populated with the signature Baharlu Murgi (pecking bird) motifs and framed by contrasting ivory geometric corner spandrels. What elevates this piece is its structural foundation, which is woven entirely out of hand-spun, dark variegated goat hair warp threads that anchor the vibrant, naturally dyed wool pile and peak through visually in the lower-central region where the rug displays honest, historical age wear.

Size : 300cm x 220cm

Stock No : SG-BAH1432

FAQs

Khamseh Baharlu carpets are traditional hand-woven floor coverings crafted by the Baharlu tribe, one of five groups comprising the Khamseh Confederacy in Fars province, South Persia.

These carpets are constructed using hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and the foundation, saturated with natural vegetable and mineral dyes.

Authentic Baharlu weavings typically feature dark indigo blue fields, complex geometric borders, repeated small stylized motifs, and a central diamond medallion structure.

A dark geometric tribal carpet acts as a visual anchor in a room, contrasting against contemporary minimalist furnishings or complementing rich timber and leather elements.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a beater bar, rotate periodically to distribute traffic wear evenly, and address spills promptly with cold water and mild detergent.
