Antique khamse Small Scatter Size Wool Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exquisite example of khamse rugs showcases the robust, tribal weaving traditions of Southwestern Persia. Its dimensions classify it as a highly desirable small scatter size, perfect for an entryway or intimate study.

The field is dominated by a rich, luminous ivory rug ground, a sophisticated contrast to the deep madder reds and earthy greens of the central medallion. This carefully selected palette provides warmth without overpowering the surrounding decor, allowing the intricate details of the design to emerge subtly.

The central motif features a striking, stepped diamond medallion, characteristic of the region's nomadic artistry. The surrounding field is filled with stylized floral and animal forms, executed with a charmingly abstract, geometric design sensibility that speaks to the weaver's personal expression.

Woven entirely in fine wool, this piece retains exceptional pile and color saturation for its age, reflecting the high standards of early 20th-century craftsmanship. It stands as a superb collectible item among high-quality antique rugs, offering both historical depth and enduring decorative appeal. See less
