Origin: South Persia
Date: Last quarter of the 19th century
Dimensions: 245 × 185 cm
Description:
This charming Khamseh carpet features the beloved morghi (“chicken”) design, its octagonal medallions filled with playful bird forms, tiny flowers, and lively tribal details. The rich palette—brick red, deep indigo, soft blues, and touches of ivory—creates warmth and movement across the field.
Framed by classic Khamseh borders of rosettes, zigzags, and geometric motifs, the carpet retains excellent balance and clarity for its age. At 245 × 185 cm, it comes in a very desirable size: large enough for a living space yet compact enough for versatile placement. A characterful and expressive example of late 19th-century Khamseh weaving.
