FAQs

Khamseh rugs are handknotted floor coverings produced by a confederation of nomadic and village tribes in south-west Persia, known for their distinctive geometric motifs and rich colour palettes.

These carpets typically feature handspun wool foundations and piles, often dyed using natural organic substances such as madder root, indigo, and walnut husks.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the weave density, natural dye variations (abrash), wool quality, fringe construction, and characteristic tribal iconography such as stylised birds and diamond medallions.

An antique tribal rug functions effectively as a grounding element in contemporary spaces, pairing well with minimalist furniture, neutral walls, and natural wood finishes to highlight its intricate patterns.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing as needed, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and using a breathable rug underlay.
