Warmly Hued Antique Persian Bakshaish Geometric Patterned Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1880
A soft camel-toned field gives this antique Bakshaish rug a mellow, time-softened presence, while the design remains wonderfully graphic. The stepped diamond motifs, angular vine work, stylized palmettes and scattered geometric ornaments create a sense of movement without overwhelming the composition. Red, rust, ivory and pale blue accents bring the pattern forward in a warm, livable way.

Its balance of open space, faded color and strong drawing makes the rug especially useful for interiors that need antique character without a dark or overly formal look. The blue border cools the warmer field, while the geometric pattern gives the piece enough structure for a living room, study or layered traditional-modern space.
