This antique Baluch rug from circa 1880 displays a tribal style with wool construction. The piece showcases a dark indigo blue central field decorated with a repeating red geometric lattice and tree motifs, framed by large rosettes. A patterned red border encloses the field, displaying classic flower motifs alongside contrasting black details that exhibit slight corrosion. The soft wool pile remains in excellent condition with slight even wear throughout, and the rug has been hand washed to prepare it for regular domestic use. Measuring 168 cm high by 95 cm wide with a 1 cm depth, the textile functions as a floor covering in a living room, hallway or study. The red and blue colour palette grounds traditional interior spaces, providing a practical addition to a gentleman's library or similar room settings where patterned floor coverings suit the decor. Normal domestic use applies to this hand-knotted antique rug, which brings historical textile artistry and intricate geometric patterns into everyday home interiors.

FAQs

A Baluch rug is a hand-woven textile traditionally crafted by nomadic Baluch tribes living across eastern Iran and western Afghanistan.

These rugs are predominantly hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and warp, occasionally incorporating goat hair into the side selvedges.

Authentic pieces typically feature soft wool pile, rich dark colour palettes dominated by deep madder red and indigo blue, and geometric repeating gul motifs.

A Baluch rug adds depth and texture when layered over natural floorings or placed alongside dark timber furniture and muted modern upholstery.

Keep the rug out of direct sunlight, vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically for balanced wear, and seek professional cleaning when necessary.
