This is a late 19th-century Khamseh tribal area rug, hand-knotted from all-wool materials in a Persian tribal style measuring 211 cm high by 137 cm wide. The colour palette includes a rich red central field, deep navy blue borders, and cream highlights, complemented by central reweaves to the ivory areas, some general wear, fringe losses, and side cord losses. The design incorporates a geometric central medallion, diamond latch-hooks, stylised floral motifs, and a botteh main border with flower heads and stalks at each end. Suitable for use in an English Country House interior setting, this floor covering brings traditional character to a living room, hallway, or study. Placed on the floor as an area rug, it functions as a decorative textile layer over floorboards or stone surfaces to anchor furniture arrangements and add warmth to living spaces.

FAQs

Khamseh rugs originate from a confederacy of nomadic tribes in the Fars province of southwestern Persia, known for intricate geometric patterns, stylised bird motifs, and rich natural dye palettes.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a flexible wool warp and weft foundation, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic Khamseh pieces typically feature wool foundations, hand-knotted symmetrical or asymmetrical knots, geometric central medallions, and soft backings characteristic of nomadic looms.

A distressed tribal rug provides visual texture and warmth when placed beneath neutral furniture, within contemporary living spaces, or layered against timber floors.

Regular vacuuming without a rotating beater bar prevents fibre damage, while professional dry cleaning or spot cleaning with pH-neutral solutions maintains the wool fibres and dyes.
