Description

This room-size Bakshaish carpet from North-West Persia dates to around 1880, and has many very attractive features. The background to the main field is a nice soft red which is centred by an archaic geometric central medallion. Stylised floral and plant ornaments surround the medallion. The spandrels are also very attractive, in a lovely mid-blue which is filled with stylised leaves and plants. But probably the most attractive part of this carpet is the stunning main border. The honey yellow background is decorated with serrated leaves and stylised blossoms, and frames the field composition perfectly. The overall impression is of a light and happy carpet with a lovely balanced design. It would work equally well in a traditional or contemporary setting. The size is excellent. Woven with lovely lustrous wool, the structure is very solid, and has survived the generations in excellent condition. Professionally washed recently which brought out the richness and variegation of colours in the natural dyes. This carpet is a real gem.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Bakshaish Carpet to the 1880s.

FAQs

Bakshaish carpets originate from the Heriz region in North-West Persia, produced primarily in the 19th century by village weavers known for employing larger-scale, whimsical geometric designs compared to city workshops.

These pieces are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for the pile, often on a cotton foundation, employing natural vegetable dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects to achieve their characteristic colour palettes.

Authentication involves examining the irregularities in the weave, natural abrash colour variations in the wool, structural looseness characteristic of village production, and the use of pre-synthetic natural dyes.

The large-scale geometric motifs ground modern minimalist spaces or complement eclectic traditional schemes, providing warmth, texture, and historical contrast against hardwood floors or neutral walls.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional washing by a specialist in antique textiles every few years, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight.
