About the Item
This powerful antique Baluch runner showcases a bold vertical arrangement of serrated diamond medallions, linked along a central axis and set against a rich, earthy ground of deep brown, rust, and charcoal tones. The field is animated by dense tribal motifs—hooked forms, latch-hook elements, and angular symbols—creating a rhythmic, almost architectural composition.
A striking feature of this rug is the strong graphic contrast between the dark central field and the multiple finely articulated borders. These borders incorporate classic Baluch zigzags, stepped patterns, and repeating geometric devices, framing the composition with precision and visual tension.
Baluch weavings are celebrated for their compact knotting, saturated natural dyes, and highly symbolic designs, often created by nomadic and semi-nomadic groups. This example stands out for its scale, clarity of pattern, and harmonious balance between complexity and restraint.
Well-suited for hallways, libraries, or long transitional spaces, this runner offers an authentic tribal presence and timeless visual impact—an excellent early 20th-century Baluch piece with strong decorative and collectible appeal.
