Rug Description

Tribal Rug Khamse figurative, late 19th century: a masterpiece of Persian tribal art. A rare and extraordinary specimen from the Khamse tribal confederation, hand knotted in Southwest Persia during the final decades of the 19th century. This rug stands as an absolute rarity in the international collectors’ market due to its exquisite figurative nature: the central field features a refined and evocative architectural depiction of the Holy City of Mecca, a motif of immense symbolic and spiritual significance.

The composition is masterfully balanced by two lateral niches, intricately filled with “all-over” floral patterns that create an enchanted garden surrounding the main scene. The quality of this artifact is further elevated by the use of premium-grade wool, selected for its natural luster and silk-like softness, ensuring a luxurious handle and exceptional durability over time.

The chromatic palette, deep and harmonious, relies on natural vegetable dyes where deep indigo blue and sienna red provide the perfect backdrop for delicate accents of ivory, ochre, and sage green. The main border, adorned with meticulous geometric motifs, perfectly frames this textile narrative, preserving its aesthetic equilibrium.

Condition: Excellent. The rug retains its original charm and has been meticulously preserved within the Mollaian Rugs Gallery.
