Antique Persian Bakshaish Runner

Offered by: Eli Peer Oriental Rugs

Description
Bakshaish, Heriz Serapi.
Bakshaish rugs made in Persia, Bakshaish (Bakshaish or Bakhshaysh) rugs adapt the style and feeling of the finest smaller village or tribal rugs to the scale of room-size pieces. The drawing of Bakshaish rugs and carpets is always bold, geometric, dynamic, and abstract. Bakshaish carpets may utilize medallion or all-over designs descended from classical antique Persian rugs. Bakshaish carpets are also admired for their lustrous wool and rich, transparent color, again in the tradition of the best tribal pieces. Bakshaish rugs were produced in North Iran, not far from the Caucasus, which helps to account for the qualities they share with the rugs of that region.

The talented weavers in the village of Bakshaish produce an impressive array of rustic carpets that highlight the region's history and culture. Bakshaish rugs are the oldest produced in the influential region responsible for Heriz rugs. Although the village of Bakshaish is not far from Tabriz, their designs and styles are worlds apart.
