Antique Khamseh Runner 442x96cm

This scarce antique Khamseh tribal runner from the South of Iran is a highly sought-after piece, celebrated for its rare format and captivating design. It is uncommon to find Khamseh runners at all—let alone ones with such a distinctive light blue ground.

A series of tribal medallions runs through the centre of the rug, surrounded by charming animal and floral motifs, including birds, dogs, and stylised flower heads. These elements offer a vivid snapshot of the nomadic Khamseh aesthetic, full of symbolism and storytelling.

Hand-knotted with high-quality wool, the runner remains structurally sound, with some areas of wear and older repairs—carefully executed and honestly reflected in the pricing. These signs of age add authentic character and historical charm to an already unique piece.

With its narrow proportions and tribal richness, this runner is perfect for adding colour and culture to hallways, entrances, or transitional spaces.
