Description
Bakshaiesh

Primarily a trade term applied to a wide variety of weaves and design styles of Heriz area carpets from about 1870 to 1895. there is no consistent theme, but Caucasian tonalities of red, light and medium blue, ivory and green prevail, wool often occurs in the foundation. Although the town of Bakshaiesh appears on rug maps, it is unclear if all the carpets in question were woven there. Strong open medallion designs or ingenious overall patterns are frequent. Bakshaiesh carpets, evn those in need of restoration, can command healthy prices. Sizes are primarily in carpets up to 12’ x 20’, but a few scatters were woven.
