The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Adraskan Baluch rugs are hand-knotted textiles woven by nomadic Baluch tribes in western Afghanistan and eastern Iran, recognised for their dark colour palettes and dense geometric motifs.

These rugs are typically hand-woven using hand-spun sheeps wool for the pile and warp, often dyed using natural plant and mineral pigments such as indigo and madder.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical hand-knotted construction, flexible dark wool foundations, selvedges finished with dark wool or goat hair, and repeating geometric latch-hook motifs.

A Baluch rug provides ground texture and tonal contrast when placed beneath neutral contemporary furniture, inside a home office, or alongside dark wood fittings.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating brush, rotate the rug periodically to balance wear, and rely on professional rug cleaning specialists for deep maintenance.
