7x9 Persian-Style Khamseh Design Rug | Antique 1940s Afghan Hand Knotted Wool | Triple Medallion Shiraz Tribal Carpet

About this rug

Three hooked hexagonal medallions, each holding an ivory gul, stretch across a brick-red field crowded with tiny flowers, stars and tribal talismans — the triple-medallion layout beloved of the Khamseh and Qashqai weavers around Shiraz in southern Persia. This antique rug was hand-knotted in Afghanistan in the 1940s from 100% wool, with the low, sleek pile that decades of careful use produce. Deep brown, beige, navy, gold and ivory details move through the drawing, and multicolored geometric borders wrap the whole field. Approximately 7 x 9.3 ft (213 x 282 cm), it is a warm, richly patterned piece with real age and character — made for a living room or bedroom that wants history underfoot.
