FAQs

Khamseh rugs were traditionally woven by the nomadic Khamseh Confederacy in South-West Persia, characterised by intricate geometric compositions, multiple diamond medallions, and small stylised bird or animal motifs throughout the field.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a wool or cotton warp and weft, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes to yield rich indigo blues, madder reds, and soft ivory tones.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle organic variations in weave and symmetry, natural colour abrash across the wool, a flexible soft handle, and hand-overcast side edges rather than modern machine binding.

Positioning a patterned tribal rug over neutral natural-fibre carpet provides layered visual texture, while placing it on polished floorboards anchors furniture arrangements in living areas, hallways, or studies.

Suction vacuum regularly without a rotating brush attachment, rotate the carpet annually to balance wear from foot traffic and light exposure, and treat liquid spills immediately by blotting with a dry cloth.
