FAQs

Khamseh carpets are handknotted floor coverings produced by a confederation of nomadic and village tribes in south-west Persia, known for distinct geometric motifs and deep indigo fields.

Authentic pieces typically feature handspun wool pile on wool or cotton foundations, dyed using natural vegetable colorants such as madder root and indigo.

Authentication involves examining the irregularity of the weave, natural abrash colour variations in the wool, structural characteristics of the fringe, and traditional tribal motifs.

These textiles serve as grounding anchors in modern living spaces, pairing effectively with minimalist furniture or neutral floors to highlight their intricate patterns and rich colour palettes.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, professional specialist cleaning when necessary, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight to prevent fading.
