This 1890 antique Persian Khamseh tribal carpet from southwest Persia forms a large hand-knotted woollen floor covering measuring 453 cm high by 178 cm wide and 0.6 cm deep. The piece presents an all-over terracotta red background set with three central hooked diamond-shaped medallions in indigo blue and cream tones. These fields display intricate geometric motifs, stylised avian patterns including pecking chickens and peacocks, and matching ivory-coloured corner spandrels, all framed by multiple repeating border bands along the sides. Visible details include secured ends and sides, low pile with light wear, a small reweave on the top left corner, and a few scattered repairs. Natural dyes colour the hand-spun wool construction, which has been hand-washed and de-dusted. The item suits large hallway spaces, grand reception rooms, or English country house interiors as a decorative floor textile, positioned flat on the floor to anchor a living or dining space.

FAQs

Produced by the Khamseh Confederation in southwest Persia, these carpets feature tribal motifs, geometric medallions, and stylized animal figures woven by nomadic and semi-nomadic artisans during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Khamseh carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and foundation, coloured with natural vegetable and mineral dyes.

Authenticity is indicated by geometric diamond pole medallions, small animal and bird motifs dispersed across the field, woollen warps, and characteristic colour variations known as abrash.

A long tribal carpet creates an anchor in large entrance halls, wide corridors, or expansive open-plan living areas, contrasting effectively against polished concrete, stone, or hardwood flooring.

Vacuum regularly without a rotary beater bar, place a quality rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and wear, and utilise professional specialist hand-cleaning when maintenance is required.
