Antique Bakshaish Rug 4ft 8in X 7ft 4in

The term “Bakshaish” is used to describe antique rugs and carpets from the Heriz weaving area, dating back to the late 19th century, despite there being no town specifically named Bakshaish. These carpets are distinguished by their allover patterns, mellow colors, and semi-geometric drawings. By about 1900, the Bakshaish style gradually transitioned into the more recognized Heriz style, making authentic Bakshaish carpets truly antique. The color palette typical of Bakshaish rugs includes brick, ivory, blues, and beige, contributing to their captivating appearance.
