Antique Bakshaish Hallway Runner Wool Black Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional piece hails from the Bakshaish region of Northwest Persia, renowned for producing some of the most highly sought-after antique rugs of the late 19th century. The weaving displays the characteristic boldness and primitive geometry that distinguishes Bakshaish production from more formal Persian city weaving. The powerful design features a deep, saturated field, utilizing a near-black color rugs dye that provides a dramatic contrast to the palette of the motifs. Across this dark ground, repeating stylized medallions are arranged in a precise, all-over lattice. These geometric floral forms are rendered in oxidized blues, soft russets, and pale ochres, demonstrating the sophisticated use of natural dyes characteristic of the period.
