Bakhshaish / 14749

This Bakhshaish antique rug measures 325 x 417 cm and features a rich red field traced with angular floral vines, stylised blossoms, and cream linear drawing. The border work is equally considered, with layered bands in tan, ivory, and muted blue that lend structure to the composition. Woven in wool, it has a tactile, settled presence and a surface softened by careful age. Low distress leaves the pattern legible, while subtle wear and edge character add to its authenticity. Circa 1880 - 1895, it reflects the generous scale, geometric fluency, and decorative balance associated with Bakhshaish rugs.
