Antique Khamseh 'chicken' Rug, Southern Persia

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Farnham Antique Carpets

A wonderful condition antique Khamseh rug using the beautiful tribal ''chicken'' or ''bird'' design from the end of the 19th century. Fantastic colours with an amazing ''abrash'' which is the term for dye change, as you can see the border changes colour from deeper reds to deeper reds to browns.  The blue dye changes too from lighter to darker, which adds so much interest and charm.  The ivory wool used for the three medallion design, highlights the ''chickens'' who are pecking! An interesting tribal weaving from South-West Persia. The wool is lovely and glossy which you would expect from rugs from this region, the dyes are natural and work in harmony together.  We provide excellent rug underlay that would strengthen the rug on the floor all included in the price.  It also can be shipped worldwide.
 
In lovely condition, a fine weave and good medium pile height all over. Well preserved fringes and sidecords too. No stains and professionally washed and ready for the floor.
