Khamseh bagface, second half 19th century

Measurements: 57cm x 65cm

80 Knots per inch

Price: £1,200

The murgh or chicken is a hallmark of Khamseh pieces although generally they are seen as random decoration in the field. Here they are the main attraction and what a wonderful picture they make. They change direction in each row and are portrayed in a range of soft colours. This is the best Khamseh piece that has passed through my hands. The colours are good and the wool is soft. A top quality antique bagface in very good condition.
