This antique Persian tribal Khamseh rug, dating from 1890, is a hand-woven wool piece featuring a triple lozenge design set against a navy blue field. The textile incorporates three large stepped diamond medallions alongside muted shades of brick red, indigo, and ivory, complemented by multiple intricate geometric borders and stylized animal motifs. Fringe strands adorn the top and bottom ends, while visible wear and a traditional hand-knotted pile reflect its age and history. The carpet measures 190 cm high by 146 cm wide, offering a practical floor covering for a living room, study, or hallway within an English country house interior.

FAQs

Khamseh carpets originate from nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes in south-western Persia, recognized for combining geometric patterns, stepped medallions, and rich natural vegetable dyes.

These textiles are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and the warp and weft foundation, resulting in a flexible, durable weave.

Authentic tribal pieces display subtle irregularities in knotting density, organic colour variations known as abrash, and a soft wool foundation without synthetic backing.

A patterned tribal rug grounds a living space by contrasting against modern minimalist furniture, adding structural interest and rich colour palette balance.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush head, rotate the rug annually to balance light exposure, and address spills immediately with cold water and an absorbent cloth.
