  This is an amazing antique Persian Bakhshaish from the late 19th century. Bakhshaish, a tribe in the northwest of Iran in the heriz district, became victim of modernization and most of its weavers migrated to larger cities in search of industrial jobs. Even though, there are no more carpets being produced in that part of Iran, Bakhshaish carpets remain highly collectible and sought after by many collectors and design professionals. They were exclusively made in vegetable dyes along with high-quality wool. This wonderful piece has great simplicity which is surrounded by a highly complex geometric borders. An extremely important and decorative carpet for your home or office.
