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

Khorasan Baluch rugs are hand-knotted textiles woven by nomadic Baluch tribes in northeastern Persia, recognised for their rich dark palettes, geometric designs, and dense wool construction.

Traditional Baluch rugs are constructed using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool foundation, utilising natural plant and mineral dyes to achieve deep brown, indigo, and terracotta tones.

Authentic 19th-century Baluch rugs feature soft wool pile, flexible handle, dark selvedges, and repeating geometric motifs such as octagonal guls or latch-hook borders, alongside subtle variations in natural dye hues.

An antique Baluch rug adds depth to neutral schemes when placed beneath timber furniture, within corridors, or paired with contemporary leather seating to provide grounding texture and geometric contrast.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush, clear spills immediately with a clean dry cloth, use a rug pad to prevent uneven wear, and arrange professional hand-washing periodically.
