Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1920s:
Hand-spun wool foundation and pile: nomadic tribal weaving.
Natural colour variation across the blue ground: small-batch plant dyes.
Stylised animal and floral filler motifs: classic Khamseh tribal design.
Evenly worn low pile: decades of domestic use.
Flat-woven wool kilim end under the fringe: original foundation weaving.

This antique Khamseh Arab rug originates from South West Persia and dates from the first quarter of the twentieth century. The hand-knotted wool construction displays a low pile with light wear visible to the centre, alongside later cotton fringes added a long time ago. The blood-red field is patterned with three diamond geometric medallions in blue and cream, featuring stepped latch-hooks and animal motifs. Additional colours include yellow and olive green within the intricate geometric borders. The measurements are 148 cm high by 103 cm wide by 0.6 cm deep. Suitable for placement as a decorative floor covering in a hallway, study, or living space, this South Persian tribal piece brings traditional motifs to contemporary interiors. The geometric borders frame the central field, while the fringed end finish completes the textile. The all-wool construction ensures practical use on various floor surfaces while maintaining its historical character.

FAQs

Khamseh rugs are hand-knotted tribal textiles crafted by the Khamseh Confederation, a tribal alliance in South-West Iran. They are noted for bold geometric motifs, dark red and blue ground shades, and stylized natural devices.

These rugs are hand-woven using natural hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, dyed using traditional plant-based and mineral dyes.

Authentic pieces typically feature wool foundations, slight geometric asymmetrical irregularities, deep saturated colours, and a flexible handle with clearly visible hand-tied knots on the reverse.

A small tribal rug can serve as a focal point in a hallway, alongside natural timber furniture, or layered over neutral jute flooring to add texture and colour.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotary brush, rotate periodically to ensure even wear, and clean spills immediately by blotting with clean cold water.
