The Khasmeh
rugs are acknowledged for their traditional patterns
and beautiful designs.
The Khamseh people are supposed to have migrated into Qashqai
region in the 16th century from Azerbaizan. The past of
the ethnic groups is revealed in the similitude of the rug
patterns.
The Khasmeh
rugs normally have clannish patterns with sharp edges
and geometric shapes. These rugs are so beautiful that they
can easily match any interior. They feature bird and animal
drawings both in repetitive patterns and in packing stuff.
The borders of these rugs embrace many vastly developed
flowery designs.
Khasmeh rugs are generally small in sizes from 2x3 up to
4x6 feet, though some of them are larger in size also. Warps
are of wool in brown and natural ivory shades. The pile used
is of highest quality wool. A good number of the rugs are wool-made
even though some have silk or combination of silk with wool
and a handful are identified with wefts of camel hair. The bulk
of these rugs are tangled with Persian
or Turkish
knots. Knot counts generally fluctuate between 1000 to 3000
KPSI. Some very good quality rugs have up to 5000 KPSI.
These carpets normally possess apparent and vivacious colors
that are formed mostly with innate dyes. These rugs are one
of the finest that are sincerely made, well crafted and woven
in cheerful colors without showing brash.
