Antique Bakshaish Folk Life Handwoven Rug

This exceptionally rare antique Persian Bakshaish rug, measuring 7’5”x10’11”, showcases a captivating and highly unusual “folk life” pictorial design. Its golden-brown field, a hallmark of Bakshaish weaving, provides a warm backdrop for whimsical scenes featuring stylized figures on horseback and engaging human interactions amidst a verdant landscape with prominent “Tree of Life” motifs. Handwoven in the villages of Northwest Persia, this unique piece embodies the spontaneous artistry and rich narrative tradition of its origins. This rug is in very good condition.

PANTONE shades: We do our best to find the closest match to one or multiple colors in the rug. The shade card we choose may not always be the perfect one, but we do our best (it’s a lot of work)! At times we may show multiple shade cards so you can get a better sense of color. Finally, when photographing rugs from the same group (shipment, collection, SKU, etc.) we will often use one or two shade card(s) so that you can get a good sense of the coloration. Hope you enjoy viewing our beautiful rugs!
