Bakhshaish Rugs
Bakshaish rugs are a type of hand knotted Persian rug that originated in the village of Bakshaish, located in the northwestern region of Persia. These carpets are known for their unique designs, use of natural dyes, and high-quality wool.
Bakshaish rugs typically feature bold geometric designs with large, open fields and simplified motifs. The colors used in Bakshaish rugs are often muted and earthy, with shades of brown, rust, ivory, and blue being the most common.
One of the distinguishing features of Bakshaish rugs is their use of a technique known as abrash, which is the intentional variation in color that occurs naturally in hand-spun wool. This creates a subtle striation effect in the colors of the rug, giving it a unique and rustic appearance.
Bakshaish rugs are hand knotted using a Turkish knot, a symmetrical knot tied around two warp threads. The knot density of Bakshaish rugs typically ranges from 60 to 100 knots per square inch.
Bakshaish rugs are highly valued by collectors and are known for their durability and longevity. They are often used in high-traffic areas such as living rooms and entryways. Due to their high quality and intricate designs, Bakshaish rugs can be quite expensive, especially older or antique pieces.
Overall, Bakshaish rugs are a beautiful and timeless example of the artistry and craftsmanship that has made Persian rugs famous worldwide.
