Description
Bakshaish Area Rug
Iran
c. 1900, a multi-colored diamond lattice floats on a camel hair field with rustic animal and geometric forms in the wide borders. Persian Bakshaish rugs were created in a group of small villages tucked away in the Elbrus mountains of what is now Azerbaijan. It is close to the major weaving center of Tabriz. Many Bakshaish rugs show the influence of Persian rugs from the royal weaving centers, but they often have a more tribal character. The repeating pattern in the field of the rug consists of a diamond shape, which is often used to ward off the evil eye. The pattern inside the diamonds is similar to the scorpion pattern, which is supposed to protect against the sting. These ancient symbols connect this rug to its cultural heritage and those who created it. This charming Bakshaish is in good condition and suited to a wide range of interiors.
4 ft. 4 in. x 10 ft. 6 in.
