Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugsNo Reserve - Antique 19th Century Persian Bakshaish Rug
Size: 19 ft 6 in x 15 ft 2 in (5.94 m x 4.62 m)
Provenance: Inventory of the late Albert Karmely
This dramatic antique Persian Bakshaish rug from the late 19th century presents a striking composition of angular botanical motifs in expressive brick red and bold Persian blue against an expansive ecru field that provides both timeless formality and remarkable visual openness. The extraordinary main border, adorned with boldly drawn turtle motifs featuring hairline edges and serrated outlines flanked by Herati leaves, is further enhanced by elegant floral guard bands and crenellated fence outer borders — creating a boldly restrained statement that perfectly counterbalances the commanding monochromatic field.
