Antique Bakshaish carpet

Description
This exceptional oversize antique Bakshaish carpet has a wonderful all over design with a leaf and small palmette pattern, using some tribal design elements. Woven over 140 years ago, the sandy, brown background is a great dye to use, as it allows all the pale blues, soft reds, greens and pinks to showcase the subtle design. Woven with 8 minor borders of varying colours and a main pale blue border, the border designs are truly beautiful and using the best natural dyes.
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 enormous example of tribal weaving, ideal for a drawing room, bedroom or dining room.
The condition of this carpet is really exceptional, the coarser weave from this type often produces a wooly pile, which is what we can see on all the additional images. Minimal restoration, preservation to the fringes/ends.

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.
