This distinctive antique Khamseh rug is a beautiful and uncommon example of tribal weaving from the Qashqai tribes of South Iran. Khamseh rugs are renowned for their bold designs and cultural symbolism, and this piece stands out for its rare cream ground, a feature not often seen in rugs of this type.
The field is dominated by a large stylised paisley motif, rendered in cream, brown, and terracotta. Within the paisley shapes are subtle bush or tree-like elements, possibly symbolising fertility, life, or tribal connection to nature. The composition is both bold and elegant, with a tribal structure and a painterly softness thanks to the muted palette.
A handsome geometric border in warm terracotta tones frames the design, anchoring the softer central field with rhythmic energy. The overall look is grounded and earthy, making it well suited to interiors that value both texture and cultural narrative.
The rug is described as low throughout, typical of antique pieces that have seen use and care over many decades. This is reflected in the price, making it an accessible entry point for collectors or designers looking for a genuine antique with visual impact and a story to tell.
