KHAMSEH
5' 0" x 7' 8" (152 x 234cm) Late 19th C.
(High-Decorative) ("New Arrivals Gallery") To breathtaking visual effect, a rich panoply of botanical and symbolic imagery adorns this mesmerizing rug from an Arab weaver of one of five "Khamseh" tribes that make up this prominent Southern Persian tribal confederacy. A mesmerizing flotilla of interlocking medallions fares the deep walnut field amidst a sparkling assortment of sun disks, boteh seeds, latch-hooked conifers, and inverted crimson camels. Each is emblazoned with a classic Southern Persian tribal motif, yet their centers are individualized original designs made by a weaver with the power to free-flow their artistry. Those engaged with the edge of the innermost border represent the idea of the entire pattern expanding infinitely in all directions beyond the boundaries of our vision. This striking antique rug has retained an even, medium-piled surface that could easily handle traffic in a dull transitional space, sitting area, or dazzle as art for the wall.
