Description

An early primitive design antique Bakshaish carpet woven around 1860-1870, the stylised all over Tree design is a beautiful tribal design rarely seen.  The natural dyes have mellowed over the last 150 years or more to produce muted yet warm colours.  The condition is good in general, with some restoration on the main field of this rare type and some old repairs to the outer border edges.

. . .

 It is however an exceptional early tribal carpet with a good medium high pile and ready to be used on the floor.

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.
