This charming tribal carpet was created by the talented weavers of the Khamseh Tribe who migrated in southern Persia for centuries before settling into the towns and villages around the city of Shiraz from the end of the 19th century. Woven with fine lustrous wool and rich dyes, this is a lovely example of Khamseh weaving. The linked medallions on the sapphire blue field are filled with various geometric ornaments and are surrounded by myriad chickens and quadrupeds. There are several borders which are different and filled with geometric ornaments. All the colours have been produced from natural dyes, and are rich and subtle at the same time. It is also a great size and would be useful in many decorative settings. Great tribal character but is also very decorative. The pile is glossy and velvety and has survived in very good condition with only a few traces of wear . Original selvages are intact. The ends are good.
