Early 20th Century Persian Khamseh Rug

About the Item

Woven around 1900, this early 20th-century Persian Khamseh rug showcases the geometric elegance and folk charm characteristic of the tribal weavings of southwestern Iran. At its center is a striking six-sided medallion, filled with a delicate grid of stylized flowers—each bloom meticulously rendered in a repeat pattern that feels both rhythmic and spontaneous. The border is equally captivating, anchored by a wide central stripe of scrolling floral motifs and flanked by a lively mix of narrower bands, each featuring its own unique combination of stripes and abstract floral forms. The color palette—crimson, indigo, white, green, and pink—gives the rug a joyful complexity. Khamseh rugs are traditionally woven by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes in the Fars province of southern Iran, prized for their bold graphics, saturated colors, and tight weaves. Each rug tells a story of movement, memory, and identity, and this one carries its history with quiet confidence.
