FAQs

Khamseh rugs are woven by a confederation of five nomadic tribes in southwestern Persia, traditionally known for distinctive dark blue or red fields and stylised geometric motifs.

These rugs are hand-knotted using handspun wool for both the pile and the foundation, often employing natural dyes derived from plants and insects to achieve rich colour palettes.

Authenticity is identified through irregular knot counts on the reverse, natural variations in wool dye lots known as abrash, and traditional tribal iconography such as diamond medallions and stylised birds.

An antique tribal rug can be layered over larger natural fibre flooring or placed on polished wooden floors to introduce warmth, texture, and historical contrast to modern minimalist spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading.
