Antique Bakshaish Persian Geometric Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional example of 19th-century weaving showcases the distinctive, monumental scale and geometric abstraction characteristic of bakshaish rugs. Originating from the Heriz region, this piece represents a pinnacle of nomadic and village artistry from the late Qajar period of Iranian / Persian rugs. The expansive field is dominated by a striking, earthy camel hue, providing a sophisticated backdrop for the large, stylized central medallion rendered in terracotta, rust, and deep indigo. The overall palette relies on natural dyes, resulting in a harmonious blend of saturated blues and deep earth tone color rugs, which have mellowed beautifully over the rug's long history.
