This antique Baluch tribal prayer rug originates from the Herat region during the second half of the 19th century. Hand-woven from wool and camel hair, the piece exhibits a camel-brown ground complemented by deep red and navy geometric motifs. Visible details include a stepped arched mihrab design, intricate brocaded skirts, flat-woven kilim ends, and a latch-hook border pattern, alongside areas of natural wear without holes or reweaves. The rectangular rug measures 138 cm high, 84 cm wide, and 0.5 cm deep. Appropriate for placement on the floor in a study or library styled with a gentleman's library aesthetic, the textile brings traditional nomadic craftsmanship to interior spaces. The construction incorporates flat-woven ends and dark pile yarns, designed for domestic display in low-traffic or decorative settings.

FAQs

A Baluch prayer rug is a hand-knotted textile crafted by nomadic Baluch tribes across eastern Persia and western Afghanistan, defined by its directional arched motif known as a mihrab and a dark, rich colour palette.

These textiles are typically hand-woven using soft wool or natural camel hair for the pile, bound onto a wool warp and weft foundation dyed with natural plant and mineral pigments.

Authentic period rugs feature hand-spun yarn, natural dyes that exhibit subtle colour variation or abrash, fine flat-woven kilim ends, and highly detailed geometric tribal symbolism.

A small tribal prayer rug serves effectively as a focal piece in an entryway, draped over a bench, or layered over a larger neutral woven carpet to add texture and historical depth.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment, clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth without rubbing, and place a quality underlay beneath to prevent fibre wear.
