Antique Bakhshayesh Carpet 380x294cm

Originating from the village of Bakhshayesh in Northwest Iran, this hand-knotted carpet is a superb example of the region’s reputation for producing elegant, decorative rugs with distinct artistic character. Known for their subtle but captivating design features, Bakhshayesh carpets blend tribal boldness with refined Persian symmetry—and this piece is no exception.

Set on a rich red ground, the design is anchored by a large central red medallion. What makes this carpet truly unique are the unusual and artistic motifs that surround the medallion. Among these are multicolored branches sprouting from stylized flowers near the corners and pairs of blue leaves flanking the medallion—small but deliberate design deviations that offer visual intrigue and originality.

The mustard-colored spandrels lend a soft contrast and introduce a harmonious golden hue that enhances the warm palette. The design is framed by a deep blue border, populated with stylised flower heads—each flanked by delicate flower-tipped stems, adding movement and a touch of whimsy to the composition.

This decorative Bakhshayesh carpet is full of artistic nuance, and its rare design features make it a perfect focal point for interiors that appreciate traditional craftsmanship with a twist.
