About the Item
Khamseh Rug, Late 19th Century
The Khamseh are a confederation of five largely disparate tribes of the Fars region. They were allied through the intervention of the central Persian government in the 19th century in order to check the power of the local Qashqai. This Khamseh rug draws a colorful allover field design of repeat stylized rosettes and foliage. This design is most typically seen in the weaving of the Basiri, the sole Persian-speaking tribe within the Khamseh confederation, and curiously among the Afshar of southeastern Iran as well. It seems to be a tribal retelling of the more formal Persian ‘herati’ pattern. A full spectrum of colors make up various elements of design. These tones are amplified against a deep indigo ground. A classic Khamseh gold ground border with stylized roses frames the piece.

Khamseh Rug, c. 1900
The Khamseh were a confederacy of five southwest Persian tribes created with the support of the Persian imperial government in order to check the power of the influential Qashqai tribal confederacy in the same region. While many southwest Persian tribal rugs are defined by geometric angular drawing incorporating diamonds and latch-hooks, others were inspired by formal Persian textiles and faithfully executed more curvilinear drawing, especially repeat ‘boteh’ paisleys. This elegant Khamseh rug draws large but delicate paisleys floating within a field of blossoming foliage in the manner of a fine Persian shawl...
