BAKSHAISH
Northwest Persian Antique Carpet

(High-Collectible) ("Great Lakes Collection") This exceedingly rare, top-tier mid-19th century Bakshaish stands as one of the most extraordinary iterations of this esteemed style through its sheer artistry and visual impact. This brilliant early village carpet masterfully achieves an adventurously overscale, incredibly inventive design with a stellar combination of painstakingly hand-wrought tropicalia tones. Its ambitious allover design incorporates grand palmettes and ultra-stylized blossoms placed in balanced rows, selectively framed by interconnecting diamond vinery. Smaller scale fronds, rosettes, and randomly placed vinery segments bring an additional dimension of visual interest. Its premier collector attributes, including a prized ivory ground and stunningly expressive large-scale motifs, are reinforced by the superlative quality of its craftsmanship and materials. Made for a grand space, such a tremendously inspired carpet from Bakshaish in dimensions such as this is a once in a lifetime find and remains in outstanding condition relative for 175 years after its inception. GLC rugs cannot be purchased using exchange credit.
