Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs

Large Antique Persian Bakshaish Rug

Size: 15 ft 3 in x 11 ft 7 in (4.65 m x 3.53 m)

Provenance: From the estate of a prominent New York collector

Loosely drawn floral forms and dramatic symmetry unfold across a spacious field of abrashed indigo. The palette, softened by age, highlights the rustic, almost abstract expression typical of village weaving in the Bakshaish region. A compelling study in scale, geometry, and color balance from one of Northwest Persia’s most influential traditions.

Lot # 339 is in a very good condition. The pile is low and even with minor tinted areas in the field. The two ends are original and secured but there are two little spots that need repiling. The sides are original and secured. There is no dryness in the founfation. This rug is clean and floor ready.
