FAQs

Baluch rugs are hand-knotted textiles traditionally produced by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes inhabiting the border regions of Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, often featuring distinctive dark colour palettes and geometric motifs.

Authentic vintage and antique pieces typically utilise hand-spun wool for the pile, warp, and weft, often dyed using traditional natural vegetable and insect dyes to achieve rich, earthy tones.

Authenticity is identified by examining the handle, knot density, natural dye variations, irregular tribal geometry, and the presence of wool warps and wefts with characteristic overcast selvedges.

An antique tribal textile adds texture and warmth to contemporary spaces when used as a focal point on neutral wooden floors, layered over larger sisal flooring, or displayed as a wall hanging.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialised cleaning when necessary, protection from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and avoiding excessive moisture.
