Description

To come across such a narrow antique runner, never mind a Baluch runner these days, only 52cm wide, is truly a rare find!

Made by Baluch tribes in the Zabol area of Sistan Province, south-east Persia circa 1880, this runner is in excellent overall condition and ready to lay in a narrow hallway. The glowing brown-red ground is divided into nine Turkmen 'tshemtshe' guls, often used by the Sistani Baluch in their weavings. Particulary attractive, is the use of a beautiful green in the inner and outer borders as well as being complete with its flatweave and brocaded skirts each end.

Size: 3.05m x 0.52m (10' 0" x 1' 8").

FAQs

Baluch carpets are traditionally hand-knotted by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes residing in the border regions of Persia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, particularly around the Sistan province. These pieces are recognised for their distinctive deep palettes, geometric motifs, and functional utility as floor coverings or prayer mats.

Authentic antique runners from this region typically feature hand-spun wool piles knotted onto wool or cotton foundations, utilising natural vegetable and insect dyes such as madder, indigo, and walnut husks. The knotting is generally asymmetric or symmetric, executed on horizontal ground looms set up by nomadic weavers.

Authentication involves examining the handle, irregularities in the weave, natural abrash colour variations in the wool, and traditional tribal iconography such as repeated guls or geometric medallions. The use of dark, saturated primary grounds combined with camel hair or wool warps often points towards genuine tribal provenance.

An antique runner acts as a textural anchor in linear spaces like corridors, hallways, or narrow galleries, contrasting effectively against modern minimalist flooring or heritage parquet. Its rich chromatic depth complements both neutral architectural backdrops and eclectic, layered room schemes.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without the beater bar, professional organic washing every few years, and the use of a breathable rug underlay to prevent slippage and fibre wear. Protection from direct, prolonged sunlight prevents the fading of natural vegetable dyes.
