Bakshaish 3x12 Runner From Turquoise Mountain

Classic and transitional. This runner features and overall pattern of medallions and symbols on a red background. 

We are proud to be able to offer rugs from Turquoise Mountain. Since 2006 this organization has worked to elevate not only the state of Afghan rug production, but also the lives of the weavers and craftspersons that are so crucial to it. Each purchase from Turquoise Mountain contributes to educational work programs and training, community health centers, and schools striving to revitalize Kabul, and the spirit of the people.

Bakshaish rugs were traditionally produced in Northwestern Iran in weaving centers near Tabriz and feature some very early crossovers of "city rug" meandering floral designs and medallions along with tribal symbolic representative animal and plant shapes. Rather progressive and transitional designs for their time. This runner continues that theme with an elegant series of floral medallions and several traditionally tribal representative forms for plants, animals, and protective talismans. 

This is just one example of the many wonderful rugs that we have in our showroom. Purchase through our site and have it shipped to you, or come see this or any of our other unique and one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rugs in person at our 2037 NW Lovejoy Street showroom in NW Portland, Oregon.
