Rare Antique Bakshaish Carpet

19th century
Description

An early primitive tree design antique Bakshaish carpet woven around 1850-1860, the stylised all over abstract tree design is a beautiful tribal pattern which is rarely seen.  The natural dyes have mellowed over the last 160 plus years to produce muted yet warm colours.  The condition is good in general, with some old restoration on the main field with some old repairs to the outer border edges.

The weavers in Bakshaish, north Persia used the influences of tribal weavers from the Caucasian villages in their designs.  These rustic carpets are often a very similar in colour to that of neighbouring Heriz and Serapi carpets and rugs.  The early pieces such as this will always have more muted dyes purely down to their age, the natural yellows and variety of rust reds are only seen in carpets of this vintage.

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 recognised for their artistic, tribal interpretations of classical Persian designs, frequently featuring geometric motifs, stylised trees, and soft natural dye palettes.

These carpets are typically hand-knotted using a hand-spun wool pile on a wool or cotton foundation, utilising organic vegetable dyes to create varied tonal depth across the field and borders.

Authentic examples showcase geometric interpretations of botanical themes, such as repeating tree motifs, open field compositions, and characteristic terracotta, indigo blue, and camel colourways.

A Bakshaish carpet provides a warm foundation in both contemporary and classical settings, pairing effectively with mahogany or oak furniture, neutral linen upholstery, and rich architectural details.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically to equalise wear and light exposure, use a supportive rug pad, and clean professionally with traditional water-wash methods.
