Antique Bakshaish Carpet

19th century
Description

This exceptional oversize antique Bakshaish carpet has a wonderful all over design with a leaf and small palmette pattern, using some tribal design elements.  Woven over 140 years ago, the sandy, brown background is a great dye to use, as it allows all the pale blues, soft reds, greens and pinks to showcase the subtle design.  Woven with 8 minor borders of varying colours and a main pale blue border, the border designs are truly beautiful and using the best natural dyes.

Generally older pieces were more open than younger examples woven from the Heriz region in the North of Persia.  The charm and characteristics of antique carpets from this region woven in the late 19th century are simply wonderful.  A rare enormous example of tribal weaving, ideal for a drawing room, bedroom or dining room.

The condition of this carpet is really exceptional, the coarser weave from this type often produces a wooly pile, which is what we can see on all the additional images.  Minimal restoration, preservation to the fringes/ends.

Book in a visit to our showroom if you would like to see this large carpet up close, or if you prefer we can show it to you at home, with our free, no obligation home visit service.  We have travelled nationwide for over 30 years helping customers and interior designers make a beautiful home.

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

Originating from Northwest Persia, Bakshaish carpets are recognized for their stylised, geometric interpretations of classical Persian motifs, rustic character, and balanced field compositions.

These carpets are hand-knotted using wool pile woven onto a durable cotton or wool warp and weft foundation, incorporating natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic examples typically feature symmetrical Ghiordes knots, soft geometric designs, subtle natural colour variations known as abrash, and a hand-woven structure.

A hand-knotted Persian carpet provides grounding texture and pattern, anchoring living room seating arrangements or dining tables within contemporary or eclectic interior schemes.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar prevents fibre damage, while periodic professional cleaning by an antique textile specialist ensures long-term preservation.
