Antique Bakshaish Carpet

19th century
Description

A tribal antique Bakshaish carpet woven around 150 years ago dating from circa 1870-80 with a large scale border design with well drawn leaves and rosette floral motifs.  The biscuit toned central medallion area is a dye used more over by the weavers of Bakshaish and Sarab.  The pale blue four corner spandrels are electric and stunning dyes, varied and really showcase their dying prowess as well as the large geometric leaf and tribal motifs in the corners.

A fantastic tribal carpet in excellent original condition, the wool pile is medium high throughout this piece.

Among the oversized carpets made in Persia, antique Bakshaish  carpets are in a class by themselves. In essence, antique Bakshaish carpets adapt the style and feeling of the finest smaller village or tribal rugs to the the scale of room-size pieces. The drawing of Bakshaish rugs and carpets is always bold, geometric, dynamic, and abstract.

If you would like to view this Bakshaish carpet at home or at our showroom soon, please contact us in your preferred way, we would love to help you.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Bakshaish carpets originate from Northwest Persia and are distinguished by their geometric interpretation of classical city patterns, featuring stylized medallions, stepped borders, and spacious field layouts.

These carpets were hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton foundation, coloured using natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic examples exhibit soft, organic colour variations known as abrash, flexible handles, hand-tied symmetrical or asymmetrical knots, and stylized geometric abstractions of floral motifs.

Designers position these carpets as foundational anchor elements, pairing their rustic geometric patterns with clean-lined contemporary furniture, polished hard flooring, or neutral upholstery.

Maintenance requires regular vacuuming without a rotating beater bar, placement over a dense rug pad to reduce friction, prompt spot-cleaning with mild water solutions, and periodic professional dry cleaning.
