Antique khamse Hallway Runner Wool Red Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This piece exemplifies the robust, finely knotted textiles produced by the Khamseh Confederacy tribes of Southern Persia. Its rich history places it firmly within the category of antique rugs, showcasing the enduring quality of nomadic weaving traditions. The central field is dominated by a stunning, oxidized madder dye, presenting a deep, variegated red color that provides a warm foundation for the intricate design. Contrasting accents of indigo, cream, and pale blue highlight the stepped medallions and scattered tribal symbols. Typical of Khamseh work, the design utilizes highly stylized, dense geometric motifs arranged around a series of stacked, lozenge-shaped central figures.
