Antique Bakshaish Carpet

19th century
Description

A stunning early antique Bakshaish carpet with a Serapi design with exquisite muted colours and large scale geometric patterns, you would expect of a carpet woven from the mid 19th Century.  This exceptional carpet uses a soft pale blue medallion inside a large rust medallion with the pinkish tone corner spandrels, the colour palette is quite exceptional.  Woven around 1850-60 the natural dyes have faded to reveal some amazing muted colours.  The pale blues, pinks and yellows are dyes we see in Serapi carpets which are regarded as earlier carpets from the town of Heriz.  This carpet is a mixture of both Bakshaish and Serapi in style and design.  A rare and decorative, collectable carpet.

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.

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 the Heriz district in Northwest Persia, Bakshaish carpets are renowned for their village-woven interpretations of formal Persian motifs, characterized by large-scale geometric medallions and abstract floral patterns.

These carpets are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool on a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation, dyed with natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit distinctive abrash colour variations, stylized geometric draughtsmanship rather than rigid formal symmetry, and a lighter, more flexible handle compared to heavier urban weaves.

An antique carpet functions as a visual anchor, layering texture and graphic interest beneath minimalist contemporary furniture or classic timber antiques.

Routine care requires gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush head, turning the carpet periodically to ensure even wear, and using a quality rug pad to protect the foundation.
