Uneven light wear, selvages rebound, overall good condition

£7,000-10,000 US$9,900-14,000

There are far fewer Bakshaish weavings of smaller proportions than there are large room-size carpets.
The design of the present rug has been scaled-down but works just as successfully. A similar example
both in scale and design, originally purchased from Vojtech Blau in 1995, was sold in Christie's New
York, 13 December 2000, lot 28.
116 In addition to the hammer price, a Buyer’s Premium (plus VAT) is payable. Other taxes and/or an Artist Resale Royalty
fee are also payable if the lot has a tax or λ symbol. Check Section D of the Conditions of Sale at the back of this catalogue.
