Antique Baluch Tribal Rug, Sistan Province, South-east Persia.

19th century
Description

A rare and beautiful Baluch tribal rug in excellent condition made in the Sistan region circa 1880.

Another rug I have been reunited with recently and after 30 years of being enjoyed elsewhere, it is lovely to have it back in the fold!

The unusual ground colour resembles burnt-orange with three central rectangles comprising 'Mushwani' type lozenges. Very finely knotted, the outer 'laleh abassi' border is beautifully drawn and frames the rug in the most stunning way. It is complete with short kilim skirts each end.

Size: 1.70m x 0.94m (5' 7" x 3' 1").

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Baluch rugs are hand-woven textiles traditionally created by nomadic Baluch tribes in eastern Persia and western Afghanistan, recognized for their geometric patterns and dark, saturated colour palettes.

These textiles are typically hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton warp and weft, utilising natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic pieces feature soft hand-spun wool, a relatively low pile, a palette dominated by dark navy, terracotta, and rust tones, and distinct geometric diamond medallions with decorative end skirts.

A dark geometric tribal rug grounds a room by introducing historic texture beneath modern neutral furniture, within entryways, or in a study setting.

Regular light vacuuming without a motorised beater bar, immediate spot cleaning with cold water, and periodic professional dry cleaning by a textile restorer preserve the wool fibers.
