About the Item

This striking antique Khamseh rug, handwoven in southern Iran during the late 19th to early 20th century, captures the spirit and vitality of Qashqai tribal artistry. Measuring 133 cm by 195 cm (4'4" x 6'5"), this richly detailed piece features a saturated indigo field teeming with stylized birds and abstract animal forms—a hallmark of Khamseh weaving. The rug’s central field displays an all-over pattern of totemic birds rendered in vivid shades of crimson, saffron, madder, ivory, and sky blue, interspersed with small geometric motifs and rosettes. Each figure is imbued with symbolic meaning, representing themes of protection, fertility, and the tribal connection to nature. Framed by multiple borders—including a charming main border of starburst rosettes and hooked motifs on a deep blue ground—the composition is balanced, rhythmic, and distinctly tribal in character. The saturated vegetable-dyed palette and high-quality handspun wool lend the rug exceptional warmth, texture, and chromatic depth. This Khamseh rug is not only a decorative textile but also a cultural artifact—ideal for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking to infuse their space with authentic Persian tribal heritage. Despite its age, the rug remains in fair condition, with minor age-related wear consistent with use and time.
