Antique Baluch Tribal Rug, Ferdows, South-east Persia.

19th century
Description

This beautiful rug was made by Baluch nomads in the environs of Ferdows in south-east Persia during the 1850-1870 period. Rugs of this type are rare and the last similar example I was able to acquire, was back in the 1990s, sold to an American collector and illustrated in my book 'Tribal Rugs - Treasures of the Black Tent'. Unlike other 'Baluch types' this rug was knotted on a cotton warp and weft structure and the design and colour palette is strongly reminiscent of the weavings of the Beshir Turkmen in the Emirate of Bukhara. The main border powerfully frames the field and contains stylised fish swimming around water-lilies symbolising happiness. Note the few tiny stylised chickens or peacocks in the main border and in the field.

The rug is in very good condition and the natural colours are simply stunning.

Size: 1.68m x 1.00m (5' 6" x 3' 3").
