A late 19th-century North-West Persian Bakshaiesh gallery carpet from around 1880, measuring approximately 183.1 × 518.2 cm (about 6’0″ × 17’0″). The composition pairs a saturated red field with a teal-green border in a long gallery-format proportion.
Bakshaiesh (also Bakhshaiesh) is a village in the Heriz region of northwestern Persia (now Iran), historically associated with hand-knotted village carpets that combine the geometric clarity of the broader Heriz/Serapi tradition with a slightly looser, more individual hand.
Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
