Bakhshayesh is a small village in the Iranian Azerbaijan which is located southwest of Heriz. The area is mostly known for its late 19th century(woven 1780-1900) carpet production which includes large room size rugs with either the Herati or central medallion patterns. Rugs frequently resemble antique Herizes in design and technique.Their most famous design consists of a very large diamond medallion or a star-like floral medallion with eight petals and corners very similar to the centerpiece medallion. These corners are sometimes square or rectangular. The pattern is almost always geometric. Usually the background is very crowded. however, sometimes they have a plain background, especially the older rugs. Although not as common, some Heriz rugs have an all-over layout often with geometric floral motifs such the shah abbasi and less frequently curvilinear floral motifs. The favorite colors of Bakhshayesh rug weavers consist of brownish red, light and dark pink, light and dark blue and ivory. Blue is normally used to add contrast.
