Antique Bakshaish Persian Coral 1880s Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of antique rugs from the Heriz region of Northwest Persia showcases the highly sought-after, abstract geometric style characteristic of the Bakshaish workshops during the late Qajar period. Weavings from this area are renowned for their bold designs and primitive charm, standing apart from the more formal court carpets of the era. The palette is defined by its striking use of natural dyes, featuring a deep indigo border that frames a vibrant, yet softened, field. The main ground color is a magnificent shade of Coral that has mellowed beautifully over time, providing warmth and depth to the intricate tribal motifs woven throughout the composition.
