Antique Bakshaish Long Rug, Persia, late nineteenth century. Although the design of linked hexagonal medallions on a camel ground is of classic Serab derivation, the bolder, more graphic design and color, and the weave as well, all identify this magnificent carpet as Bakshaish. The sense of color in the medallions is extraordinary, especially against the cool camel ground. The dense yet understated figure-eight and barber pole borders provide the perfect framing contrast fro the openness of the field.
