This antique hand-knotted wool Baluch rug from the Yaqoub Khani sub-tribe dates from circa 1900 and exhibits a tribal style. The dark aubergine ground displays four large turreted octagonal guls, accompanied by traditional Yaqoub Khani designs on a white ground situated in each corner. Multiple traditional Baluch geometric borders frame the central field, complemented by repeated medallions and fringed ends showing slight wear. The wool exhibits a medium pile with overall signs of light age-related wear, and the original end finishes show some degradation. The rug measures 210 cm high, 131 cm wide, and 1 cm deep in practical terms. It suits placement in spaces requiring traditional floor coverings, such as a gentleman's library or similar interior settings, for light domestic use.

FAQs

Yaqoub Khani Baluch rugs are nomadic woven textiles originating from the border regions of eastern Persia and Afghanistan, known for their specific octagonal gul motifs, dark saturated grounds, and fine wool construction.

These rugs are typically hand-knotted using locally sourced wool for the pile, warp, and weft, often incorporating goat hair for the dark selvedge bindings and natural plant or mineral dyes for the colour palette.

Authentic pieces feature flexible wool foundations, dark colour palettes dominated by aubergine, deep indigo, and madder red, tight geometric repeat motifs, and webbed woven ends.

A dark aubergine tribal rug provides grounded visual weight and warmth, working effectively over pale timber floors or stone in minimal contemporary settings, dark academia interiors, or classic traditional spaces.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush, clean spills immediately with cold water, use a quality rug underlay to prevent friction wear, and consult a specialist textile conservator for deep cleaning.
