About the Item
13' x 17'6. This is a truly unique, extremely imaginative NW Persian rustic carpet with a sky/land/water iconography. The two species of birds, larger parrots and smaller bulbuls (nightingales), refer to the sky and provide a link to the Classic Persian garden. The elaborate flowering garden urns and the long, curled leaves refer to the decorations and foliage of the garden, always in flower in Persian myth and legend. The birds nest and perch on branches and stems in the garden of the mind. The paired fish refer to water generally, for example the water channels irrigating the garden. Elaborated Persian garden iconography virtually requires fish in the water, no matter how schematically the latter is depicted. The creamy ivory ground is a neutral foil for the garden and its inhabitants. Thus, the three aspects of the earth are cleverly integrated, without any overt human activity, presence or figures. The straw-gold main border shows totally abstract leaf or foliate forms which, depending on the viewer, may have zoomorphic aspects. Perhaps birds, perhaps turtles, perhaps something else. Some motives are split and resemble generalized conifers. The minor borders show rosettes and interesting butterfly-like forms. Again, the viewer can make them anything. The pattern is so strongly divergent from Heriz-Bakshaish practice of the period that a special commission for a very unusual client with developed artistic tastes is to be taken as a given.

Located in Dallas, TX
77359 Antique Persian Bakshaish Rug, 11'05 x 19'04. Timeless appeal meets perpetually posh in this hand knotted wool antique Persian Bakshaish rug. The decorative detailing and sophisticated color palette woven into this piece work together resulting in a relaxed yet elevated feel such as American traditional, New England coastal style. Taking center stage is a superimposed rose and navy blue medallion anchored with palmette pendants at either end and patterned with botanical forms. The abrashed red field features an allover pattern composed of stylized palmettes, serrated leaves, florals and foliage. A repertoire of angular botanicals echoing the designs from within the field radiate from the corner spandrels. Sky blue edging with tiny pearls outline the medallion and reappear as cloudband swirls in each corner. The straightforward form and stately decadence reveal an amalgamated affinity for its prominent color juxtaposition. Elegantly framing the composition is a traditional Samovar turtle vine scroll border enclosed with double carnation meander guard borders, pulling together colors from throughout into a unified, harmonious design. Reflecting traditional sensibility and versatility in classic iterations of red, beige and navy blue make this make this large antique Persian area rug a beautiful expression of American, British, or French patriotism.
Perfect for a large entertaining space, hotel lobby, lounge area, drawing room, country club, academic library, golf locker room, trophy room, private Chambers, great room, wine cellar, executive suite, conservatory, state room, royal suite, billiards room, owners retreat, dining room, living room, or formal sitting room.
