Antique Bakshaish Carpet

19th century
Description

A masterpiece of Bakshaish weaving this enormous antique carpet has been woven in the north-west of Persia around 1860-1870 with rare green dyes in all four corner spandrels, full of vibrant colours and interesting motifs, we can see animals and abstract floral patterns.  A large brick red/orange medallion with a smaller central ivory motif, there is simplicity as well as beauty in this early design.  The pale blue border is a true delight too, just gorgeous natural dyes to admire.

Please request a home visit to see this rare oversize Bakshaish carpet at home, you can select an ideal day and time for us to visit.  We really love to travel, and have been doing so since the early 90's having visited customers all over the UK and into Europe.

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.

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 geometric interpretations of classical Persian patterns, artistic abstraction, and expressive tribal motifs.

These textiles are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a cotton or wool foundation, employing natural vegetable dyes to achieve distinct colour tones.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-knotted construction, abrash colour variations from natural dyes, and bold, stylised geometric medallion designs rather than rigid floral symmetry.

A prominent geometric rug provides a grounded visual foundation when placed beneath neutral contemporary furniture, adding historical contrast and texture.

Vacuum regularly without a suction beater bar, rotate the rug periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly, and use professional specialist wool cleaning for spot removal.
