FAQs

Baluch rugs are traditionally handwoven by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes inhabiting the borderlands of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, typically characterised by deep indigo, dark brown, and madder red palettes with geometric motifs.

These textiles are typically constructed with handspun wool pile on wool or goat hair foundations, often utilising vegetable dyes such as madder root and indigo to achieve rich, enduring hues.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of irregular knot densities, natural organic dye variations, hand-finished selvedges, and authentic wear patterns consistent with age and nomadic use.

Positioning the textile on hardwood floors or layering it over a larger neutral sisal carpet introduces warmth, texture, and historical depth to contemporary living spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, avoiding direct exposure to intense sunlight, and professional hand-washing by specialists in antique textiles.
