Magnificent Large Size Antique Coral Persian Bakshaish Rug

Antique Large Coral Bakshaish Geometric Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of bakshaish rugs showcases the bold, primitive aesthetic characteristic of the region. Its substantial scale makes it a magnificent large oversized rug suitable for grand interiors, commanding attention through both size and design complexity. The commanding central medallion, rendered in deep indigo and vibrant coral, is set against a luminous, open field of natural wool. This effective use of a light ground is highly sought after in ivory color rugs from the late 19th century, providing a striking contrast to the saturated tones of the expansive main border. The composition relies heavily on stylized, geometric motifs rather than the curvilinear designs favored by urban workshops.
