FAQs

Baluch rugs are hand-woven textiles historically crafted by nomadic and semi-nomadic Baluch tribes in eastern Iran and western Afghanistan. Known for their rich dark colour palettes and repeating geometric motifs, these rugs traditionally served both functional and decorative purposes within tribal households.

These rugs are typically constructed using a hand-knotted wool pile on a wool or goat hair foundation. The dyes were derived from natural vegetable and mineral sources, creating deep shades of terracotta, dark indigo, madder red, and rich brown.

Authentic late 19th-century Baluch rugs feature soft, high-quality wool, natural dyes that show subtle tonal variations known as abrash, and a relatively flexible handle. Look for traditional geometric octagonal guls, intricate multi-bordered frames, and dark, saturated colourways.

An antique tribal rug adds warmth, texture, and visual depth to contemporary or eclectic interiors. Position the rug beneath neutral seating or in a study to ground light wood or dark leather furniture.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating brush attachment to avoid snagging the pile. Address spills immediately by blotting with a damp cloth, use a rug pad underneath to prevent slipping, and consult a specialist rug cleaner for thorough maintenance.
