Bakhshaish

This majestic Northwest Persian Bakhshaish carpet combines the monumentality of the best Persian room-size carpets with the grace of a fine textile. The cream ground is innovatively composed of delicate paisleys (known as boteh). In the center of this over-all field floats a traditional Northwest Persian medallion complete with flame-palmette anchors. This elegant composition, omitting corner-pieces, heightens both the color sensation of the medallion and borders and over-all drama and elegance of the piece. This is a highly innovative design using traditional Persian design components.
