The bold, graphic design, color, and weave all identify this magnificent carpet as Bakshaish.

Tribal Pattern Light Cream Camel Hair Color Long and Narrow Size Antique Persian Bakshaish Hallway Runner Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Late 19th Century – Although the design of linked hexagonal medallions on a camel ground is of classic Serab derivation, the bolder, more graphic design and color, and the weave as well, all identify this magnificent carpet as Bakshaish. The sense of color in the medallions is extraordinary, especially against the cool camel ground. The dense yet understated figure-eight and barber pole borders provide the perfect framing contrast from the openness of the field.
