Antique Bakshaish Runner

19th century
Description

Stunning early tribal antique Bakshaish runner woven with a large scale geometric medallion design.  A very soft wool pile on this antique runner which dates from 1870-1880.  Wonderful dye change can be seen throughout, blue to greenish blues to brown tones, sandy reds and terracottas.  A really wonderful tribal runner in good order for its age, some lower pile but a strong foundation and durable piece nonetheless.

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 rugs originate from the Heriz region in Northwest Persia, crafted in villages surrounding the town of Bakshaish. They are distinguished by their stylized, geometric interpretations of classic Persian motifs, large-scale abstract medallions, and bold tribal artistry.

Traditional Bakshaish carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a cotton or wool foundation. Dyes were historically sourced from natural organic materials, yielding rich terracotta reds, indigo blues, ochres, and natural cream shades.

Authentic Bakshaish textiles feature symmetrical or asymmetrical knotting with a soft handle, subtle abrash colour variations, and distinctive geometric medallion designs rather than refined floral patterns. The weaving often displays slight irregularities characteristic of village hand-knotted production.

A long runner rug is typically placed along entrance hallways, wide corridors, or galley kitchens to introduce texture and historic pattern. The geometric motifs complement both contemporary minimalist schemes and traditional layered interiors.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar helps remove dust without pulling fibers. Rotating the rug periodically ensures even wear, while professional specialist cleaning and a high-quality underlay preserve the pile and foundation.
