Antique Bakshaish Rug 41753

Bakshaish Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century - This unusual antique runner combines the bold, expressive drawing and color of Bakshaish weaving with a classic Serab design. The medallions and borders float like enameled jewels against a rich camel ground, pulsating rhythmically in series down the length of the rug. The two borders provide a bold, sumptuous frame for the entire composition.
