Produced in North Iran, Bakshaish rugs are widely recognized for their cultural influences. They are particularly known for their asymmetrical designs.

The available carpet has an intricate blue and red inner border with a geometric center.

A Venetian Arte Povera fall-front secretary in the Baroque style is highlighted as well.
