This antique Baluch rug from circa 1900 is hand-knotted from soft wool and decorated with a navy blue central field filled with a repeat pattern of rust red octagons inside a geometric border. The piece displays rows of small octagons containing a cross motif, with alternating colours creating diagonal stripes, alongside traditional Baluch borders, fringed ends, and secured lower ends showing slight losses. The rug has an overall thickness of 1 cm, standing at 168 cm high and 105 cm wide. Suitable for normal domestic use, this rug functions well as a floor covering in a study or a gentleman's library. The piece works effectively placed in the centre of a room or beneath a small seating arrangement to add texture and geometric pattern to the interior space.

FAQs

Baluch rugs are hand-woven tribal textiles produced by nomadic and semi-nomadic Baluch tribes near the border regions of eastern Iran and western Afghanistan.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool for the pile, often supported by a dark wool or goat hair warp and weft structure.

Authentic pieces feature dark, rich colour palettes dominated by rust reds and navy blues, geometric motifs like repeat octagons or guls, soft wool pile, and webbed end kilims.

A Baluch rug provides deep colour and geometric texture when layered over natural fibre floor coverings or styled directly on dark timber floorboards.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only nozzle without a rotary brush, rotate periodically to balance traffic wear, and treat spills immediately using cold water and neutral soap.
