About the Item

Bakshayesh carpets are produced in Northern Iran. Not all Bakshayeshes are big; there are smaller pieces. Those that are larger appear to be one of the few big carpet productions that managed to straddle the usual aesthetic divide between village, tribal and room-size carpet weaving. There is no Bakshayesh pattern. Bakshayeshes come in allover designs as well as medallion compositions. They may have floral or geometric designs, or something defiantly in between. But what distinguishes a Bakshayesh is the bold, expressive drawing; one might almost call it expressionism. Bakshayeshes may exhibit abrupt or radical abrash effects. In allover designs, the repeating motifs or medallions may change their form, scale, or proportion. The spacing of motifs, even central medallions, may be erratic or improvised. The drawing is large scale, graphic and often highly geometric even when it is applied to a demonstrably urban prototype or model. Put simply, the Bakshayesh is like a giant village rug and for enthusiasts of village production; the Bakshayesh represents one of the few options for a larger carpet.
