About the Item

Bakshaish Rugs – Among the oversized rugs made in Persia, Bakshaish (Bakhshaish or Bakhshaysh) carpets are in a class by themselves. In essence, Bakshaish Rugs adapt the style and feeling of the finest smaller village or tribal rugs to the the scale of room-size pieces. The drawing of Bakshaish rugs and carpets is always bold, geometric, dynamic, and abstract. Bakshaish rugs may utilize medallion or allover designs descended from classical antique Persian rugs, but they translate such models into a much more abstract and expressive idiom reminiscent of Caucasian village rugs like Kazaks. Sometimes, like village pieces, they make use of scattered space-fillers; alternatively they may apply a principle of open space to allow the effects of the drawing to stand out graphically. The antique Persian Bakshaish rugs are also admired for their lustrous wool and rich, transparent color, again in the tradition of the best tribal pieces. Bakshaish rugs were produced in North Iran, not far from the Caucasus, which helps to account for the qualities they share with the rugs of that region. The talented weavers in the village of Bakshaish produce an impressive array of rustic carpets that highlight the region’s history and culture. By combining the larger sizes of city rugs with the rustic, tribal influences of village carpets, these regional rugs offer collectors the best of both worlds. Antique Bakshaish rugs are the oldest produced in the influential region responsible for Heriz rugs. Although the village of Bakshaish is not far from Tabriz, their designs and styles are worlds apart. The striking Bakshaish rugs have ancient roots that contribute to their rustic, rectilinear style that is reminiscent of Caucasian pieces.
