Old Khamseh Confederacy carpet
From Fars province in the SW region of the country. On an earthy mix of soft red/brown, blue and blue/black sits a changing variety of white designs which define the restrained and elegant composition of this carpet. Hand spun wool, natural dyes and thick ‘pepper and salt’ wool warps give the carpet a substantial weight and floppy ‘handle’. We believe the carpet was woven in the 3rd quarter of 20th century
A potted history of its tribal origin: The distinctive linked triple medalions confirm the origin as Khamseh Confederacy. The Qajars, the ruling house of Persia in 1861 ‘encouraged’ five tribes (khamseh = five) to merge to form a balancing alliance against the powerful Qashqai tribes. This was a canny example of the opposite of ‘divide and rule’! This enduring alliance with Persian (Farsi), Arabic and Turkic languages and no doubt different carpet weaving styles developed an aesthetic that stands apart to this day.
100% hand spun wool pile, warp and weft.
Dimensions: 317 x 229 cm
