Item Details

Early Bakshayish Runner
4.58 x 0.83 m


Early Bakshayish pieces, woven in Persia’s mountainous Northwest, are the close relatives of Serapi-Heriz carpets, though are known for being more expressive and more spontaneous than their Heriz cousins and, as a result, are widely sought after among collectors and designers alike.


This fine c. 1880s example boasts a wonderful colour scheme, all in organic dyes, with tones of muted terracotta red, sky blue, ivory and tan in the central field. The design employs a repeated diamond motif, framed by a decorative three-part border, with charming floral patterns throughout.


Retained in very good condition for everyday use, retaining its outer borders and short fringes on all sides - remarkable for a piece of this age.


A handsome tribal runner, to suit a wide variety of interiors.
