Tribal Antique Gallery Size Persian Bakshaish Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Early 20th Century – This superlative antique Persian Bakshaish rug showcases an exemplary northwestern Herati pattern that extends through the well-bordered frame.

The immensely detailed patterns incorporate subtle contrasting outlines, nuanced colors and intricate details that give the composition a transcendental curvilinear style. Multiple sets of formal borders buttress the elongated composition while reflecting the stunning ochre, earthy humus brown and somber Persian blue values that appear within the field. This arresting antique rug has a distinguished masculine presence with rustic abrashed details and exuberant botanical motifs that are tempered by the earthy color scheme.
