Antique Bakshaish Carpet

1900 - 1920
Description

A wonderful rustic antique Bakshaish carpet from the early 20th century, with large leaf designs and rustic variations of browns with muted pinks and darker blue tones, this is a tribal and ancient looking carpet. In good order and with a soft wool pile.

Bakshaish carpets were woven in large and smaller sizes and often with bold geometric designs, and vivid colours. Their designs can be quite abstract and often comprise of a central motif which sprawls out in one large design to the corner spandrels or with a smaller medallion inside a larger medallion.

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 example of tribal weaving.

FAQs

Bakshaish carpets originate from Northwest Persia, crafted in villages near the Heriz region during the nineteenth century. They are recognized for their abstract, geometric interpretations of classical Persian floral motifs and expansive field designs.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton foundation. Natural dyes derived from local plants and minerals provide the varied colour palette.

Authentic Bakshaish carpets feature stylized geometric designs, soft natural dyes with distinct abrash colour variation, and a flexible handle with a lower knot density than urban Persian weavings.

A Bakshaish carpet serves as a foundational element in modern or classic rooms, complementing contemporary upholstered seating alongside period dark wood furniture.

Regular low-suction vacuuming without a rotating beater bar prevents pile wear. Professional hand-washing by a specialist textile conservator is recommended for periodic deep cleaning.
