Rug Description

A prime opportunity for tribal textile art enthusiasts and dedicated Khamse collectors. This rug is far more than an antique furnishing; it is a historical record of South Persian nomadic aesthetics. Featuring the iconic “Murgh” (Bird) design, this specimen represents the pinnacle of tribal symbolism: a dense pattern of stylized birds filling the field, evoking ancient concepts of fertility and abundance. It is an essential piece for those looking to complete a high-level collection with an authentic and charismatic example of Persian folk art.

The wool quality is quintessential of heritage pieces: lustrous, rich, and resilient fibers that have preserved the vibrancy of the natural dyes through the decades. The chromatic palette is defined by a deep indigo blue background that highlights an explosion of organic hues, where madder red and ivory create a vibrant and sophisticated contrast.

Condition: Excellent. A rare find for its structural integrity and color freshness, professionally preserved within the Mollaian Rugs Gallery.

For the Collector: This Khamse is destined for those who seek uniqueness. The hypnotic repetition of the motif and the precision of the weave make it a solid textile art investment, ideal for display as a centerpiece in a prestigious setting or as part of a curated selection of rare, figurative rugs.
