This antique Baluch rug originates from the Herat region of Western Afghanistan around 1900. It is a hand-woven wool textile decorated with a bold Mushwani geometric chevron pattern across alternating bands of terracotta, indigo, and dark brown, framed by a cream latch-hook border and finished with fringe ends. The soft wool has a floppy handle with slight even wear and good pile, retaining original kilim end finishes with long ivory tassels. Measuring 160 cm high, 88 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, this small rug is suitable for normal domestic floor use or as a decorative wall hanging in a hallway, study, or living room.

FAQs

Baluch rugs are hand-woven nomadic textiles originating from the border regions of Persia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, known for geometric motifs and deep, rich colour palettes.

These rugs are constructed using hand-spun wool on wool or goat hair foundations, coloured using natural dyes derived from plants, roots, and minerals.

Authentic pieces feature flexible wool foundations, geometric latch-hook or chevron designs, dark colour schemes, and kilim flat-weave bands at the fringes.

A tribal rug acts as a grounding accent piece, contrasting effectively with natural timber furniture, leather upholstery, or neutral contemporary backgrounds.

Gently vacuum without a rotating brush bar, rotate regularly to ensure balanced wear, and clean spills immediately with cold water or consult a specialist textile restorer.
