A midnight-blue field anchors this hand-knotted rug, set with a vertical pair of tribal medallions — a bold madder-red hexagon above an ivory diamond — in the manner of the Khamseh, the five-tribe confederation of southern Persia. The dark ground is crowded with the full nomadic vocabulary: botehs, eight-pointed stars, blossoms, hooks and small animal charms, drawn freehand and filled corner to corner. A striped kilim finishes each end, the mark of a true tribal flatwoven foundation.
It is hand-knotted in Afghanistan by master weavers working in the older Caucasian Shirvan tradition, with a fine, even knot count, a low clipped pile and flat-woven kilim ends. The wool is hand-spun and coloured with natural dyes, which give the indigo, madder and saffron their depth and the gentle, light-catching variation that machine-made rugs can never reproduce. A broad saffron-gold border of bold tribal motifs, framed by ivory guard stripes, gathers the whole piece together.
Densely woven and built to last for generations, this is a collector-grade piece — equally at home as the centrepiece of a formal living or dining room or as an heirloom investment. As a hand-made rug, it is genuinely one of a kind.

Care instructions
- Vacuum regularly on low suction without a rotating brush.
- Rotate the rug occasionally so it wears and fades evenly.
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth, working from the outside in, and do not rub.
- Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the colour.
- Use a professional rug cleaner for any deep clean.
- Light shedding is normal with new wool and settles within the first few months.
This rug follows the tribal medallion style of the Khamseh, the 'five tribes' confederation of southern Persia, whose weavings pair bold central medallions with a densely filled field. A madder-red hexagon and an ivory diamond sit one above the other on a midnight-blue ground, surrounded by botehs, stars, blossoms and small animal charms drawn freehand in the nomadic manner. A broad saffron-gold border frames the field, and each end is finished with striped kilim, the flatwoven signature of a tribal loom. Knotted entirely by hand in Afghanistan from hand-spun wool and natural dyes, no two motifs are exactly alike and the colours shift softly across the field — the fingerprint of a single weaver rather than a machine.
