Late 19th Century Bakshaish Rug
About the Item
This incredible late 19th-century Persian Bakshaish rug is a masterpiece of tribal weaving, featuring a breathtaking large-scale floral medallion set against a rich brick-red field adorned with more stylized blossoms and vines. Surrounding this vibrant composition is one of the most outstanding borders we’ve seen in some time—a central band of repeated stylized leaves and floral motifs, flanked by two distinct geometric and floral-patterned stripes. The entire piece is woven in a refined palette of muted reds, varying shades of indigo, soft pinks, cream, and warm browns, creating a harmonious balance of color and design.
Bakshaish rugs are highly sought after for their rarity and distinct aesthetic, blending Persian court tradition with a more primitive, large-scale tribal sensibility. Their designs, often inspired by classical Persian motifs but rendered with a looser, more expressive hand, make them exceptional statement pieces. This rug is a rare find, perfect for collectors and designers alike.
