BAKSHAISH CAMELHAIR
Northwest Persian

(Connoisseur-Caliber) In an extremely versatile size and shape for a single seating area, or as part of a suite of carpets, this is a quintessential example of the Bakshaish handling of a favorite Persian allover design called “Herati.” Based around a diamond and four leaves, the repeated Herati pattern seems to float above the subtle but consistently striated background of brown tones, infusing a beguiling sense of depth in the field. Rendered in a wide palette of cheerful colors, the lattice-like arrangement skillfully affects a quiet, rhythmic animation. A traditional Bakshaish border, featuring the rosette and oak leaf meander, also glows from the mesmerizing strokes of red hues, from the peach to strawberry, to russet.
