About the Item

79435 Antique Persian Bakshaish Rug, 08'05 x 11'01. This hand knotted wool antique Persian Bakshaish rug from the Late 19th Century commands attention with an unmistakable sense of authority and gravitas. Woven on a grand scale, this extraordinary masterpiece embodies the bold, architectural spirit for which Bakshaish carpets are revered—rugged yet refined, expressive yet impeccably balanced. The richly saturated field, grounded in warm rust and earthen brick tones, establishes a dramatic foundation that speaks to heritage, permanence, and cultivated taste. The exclusive design unfolds as a powerful allover lattice of stylized botanical and geometric forms, rendered with confident, angular articulation. Abstracted palmettes, serrated leaves, rosettes, and tribal glyphs interlock across the field, creating a rhythmic composition that feels both primal and intentional. The signature motifs are generously scaled, allowing each form to breathe while contributing to a cohesive visual cadence—a hallmark of the most desirable Bakshaish weavings. Subtle abrashed shifts in tone enhance the depth and authenticity, revealing the hand of the weaver and the passage of time. Framing the exceptional composition is a commanding indigo-toned border animated by repeating rosettes, diamonds, and zigzagging devices that echo the geometry of the field. This bold enclosure anchors this exquisite work of art visually, lending structure and contrast while amplifying the richness of the central palette. The interplay between the earthy interior and the cool, graphic border creates a striking tension—at once grounded and elevated, rustic and regal. Rare, soulful, and unapologetically powerful, this antique Persian Bakshaish rug is a statement of connoisseurship. It is ideally suited for grand living spaces, libraries, or architecturally significant interiors where scale and authenticity matter. More than a decorative element, it is an heirloom artifact—an enduring symbol of status, history, and refined individuality, chosen by collectors who understand that true luxury lies in originality and legacy. Distressed. Age Wear. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 08'05 x 11'01. Date: 1870's. Late 19th Century.
