Antique Belouchi Wool Runner, Circa 1880, 2.80m X 1.18m

19th century
Description

The Belouchi are a confederation of nomadic groups that migrated in the north-east Persia and Central Asia for centuries. Their material culture inclued many types of domestic weavings including storage bags, saddle covers and for floorcoverings. Belouchi weavings in this runner format are, however, quite rare, and especially with the coveted Mina Khani design. This piece, with a wool foundation, has fine dyes and lovely glowing pile. Note the charming borders, repeating stars and trees in the long borders with repeating stars in the short borders. This piece has survived the generations in reasonably good condition. A few scattered repairs professionally undertaken. It retains its original ends and selvages. Professionally cleaned and ready for immediate use.

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.
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.
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.

Balouchi runners are traditional textiles handwoven by nomadic Baluch tribes across eastern Iran and western Afghanistan. Characterised by dark, rich colour palettes including deep reds, navy blue, and brown, they frequently feature geometric repeat motifs and hand-spun wool construction.

Authentic Balouchi rugs are crafted primarily from hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and the warp and weft foundation. Natural vegetable dyes derived from plants, roots, and minerals were historically employed to achieve deep indigo, madder red, and walnut shades.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces feature soft, flexible handles, hand-tied knots, natural dye variations (abrash), and woven selvedges. They commonly present rich, dark tonal palettes with intricate geometric star, medallion, or lattice patterns.

A long tribal runner works effectively in high-traffic transition areas such as hallways, entryways, or narrow corridors. The deep tones anchor minimalist or contemporary spaces while introducing historical texture against hardwood or stone flooring.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment to prevent pulling the natural pile fibres. Rotate the rug periodically to ensure even wear, use a quality underlay to prevent slippage, and consult a specialist textile restorer for professional cleaning.
