About Bakhshaish Rugs

Bakhshaish rugs are among the most collectible antique village weavings of northwest Persia, often predating or paralleling the classic Heriz tradition. They are known for abstract, spacious geometric designs, gentle abrash color shifts, and soft vegetable-dyed palettes of camel, rust, and faded blue. Each hand-knotted piece carries an artistic, almost primitive elegance that designers and collectors prize. Their individuality and scarcity make antique Bakhshaish carpets some of the most sought-after one-of-a-kind rugs in the market.


Each rug at First Rugs is individually sourced — no two are alike. Natural variation in color, pile, and patina is part of what gives hand-knotted rugs their lasting character and investment value.
