19th Century N.W. Persian Bakshaiesh Carpet
The strongly, but interestingly, abrashed open camel ground shows at least four weavers at work simultaneously. The diamond-shaped central straw medallion shows a well-balanced and centralized Herati design, with small palmette pendants. The sandy straw corners are en suite. The abrashed rust to red wide main border shows rosettes and doubly bent barbed leaves. Good condition.
