Antique Persian Bakshaish Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa date: Turn of the 20th Century, 1900 – Here is a beautiful antique Oriental rug – an antique Persian Bakshaish rug that was woven in Persia around the turn of the twentieth century. Characterized by a delightful composition, this antique Bakshaish carpet is a charming example of an intriguing antique Persian rug weaving style. This sophisticated antique Bakshaish rug features an angular arabesque with divergent appendages and flourishing petioles that form a secondary latticework pattern. Angular stepped medallions, floral motifs and small-scale symbols are linked by delicate vine scrolls and central branches embellished with fine outlines. Traditional floral guard-bands and muted turtle and vine-scroll borders decorated with tiny symbols, towering cypress trees and angular vines enclose the sophisticated earth-tone field. Reminiscent of the regal rugs created in Khotan, this antique Bakshaish carpet features bold medallions and small-scale symbols set over a deep walnut brown field decorated with ivory details and complementary neutral hues.
