Woven in the 1960s in the village workshops above Heriz in north-west Iran, it carries the calm geometry of Bakhshayesh design with a palette that is, by Persian rug standards, refreshingly understated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:500;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#8b0000;border-bottom:1px solid #e8e8e8;padding-bottom:0.5rem;margin-top:2rem;\"\u003eThe Bakhshayesh Tradition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBakhshayesh is a small town in the Heriz region whose weavers have always worked with a slightly looser, more painterly hand than their neighbours. Where standard Heriz rugs lean into bold rust-red medallions, Bakhshayesh allows space, irregularity and softer pigments. This piece is hand-knotted at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e160,000 knots per m²\u003c\/strong\u003e on a cotton foundation, with a full, even pile — a robust construction generous enough to age beautifully over decades. The drawing is classic Heriz: a stepped central medallion, corner spandrels, and a single main border, rendered in the easy, slightly geometric line the region is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:500;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#8b0000;border-bottom:1px solid #e8e8e8;padding-bottom:0.5rem;margin-top:2rem;\"\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this piece exceptional is the palette. \u003cstrong\u003eNatural sand\u003c\/strong\u003e carries the field; a deep \u003cstrong\u003enavy-blue main border\u003c\/strong\u003e and navy medallion frame anchor the composition; a warm \u003cstrong\u003eterracotta medallion\u003c\/strong\u003e with a light-blue star centre forms the heart. Accents of light blue, coral and a muted peach run through the spandrels and the archaic scattered motifs in the field — columns, diamonds and small figural devices in the older Bakhshayesh manner. There is no shouting red; this is a Heriz designed to live in a contemporary interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:500;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#8b0000;border-bottom:1px solid #e8e8e8;padding-bottom:0.5rem;margin-top:2rem;\"\u003eA Vintage Bakhshayesh as an Investment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalatial vintage Heriz carpets in full-pile, unrestored condition are a finite and appreciating category — pieces of this scale and quality are no longer woven in this register.

It suits a long dining hall seating twenty or more, a sprawling open-plan living space, a hotel lobby, a gallery, or any reception room where a single anchoring surface is wanted. The soft palette sits as well under modern furniture — cream linen, walnut, brushed brass — as in a classical setting.
