FAQs

Baluch rugs originating from the Khorasan province in northeastern Persia are typically hand-knotted by nomadic or village weavers, known for deep colour palettes and distinctive tribal geometric motifs.

These rugs are traditionally constructed with hand-spun wool pile on wool or goat hair foundations, utilising natural vegetable dyes derived from madder, indigo, and local plants.

Authenticity is assessed by examining irregular knot densities, natural abrash variations in the wool, traditional dark navy and terracotta colourways, and the presence of hand-finished selvedges.

A tribal rug adds warmth and texture to modern schemes, anchoring minimalist furniture or layering over larger neutral flooring to create a focal point.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing when necessary, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight to protect natural dyes.
