About the Item

A remarkable antique Afghan Baluch rug from the 1920s, exemplifying the bold geometric artistry and rich color palette characteristic of Baluch tribal weaving. This hand-knotted wool runner features a dramatic composition of four large diamond medallions arranged vertically along a deep burgundy field, each outlined with striking white serrated edges that create powerful visual contrast. The rug's design showcases classic Baluch motifs: angular hooked diamonds with intricate interior patterns, surrounded by smaller geometric elements and traditional tribal symbols. The wide borders display repeating diamond and cross motifs in deep crimson red with golden and cream accents, framed by multiple guard borders that add depth and structure to the overall composition. Woven with naturally dyed wool in a sophisticated palette of burgundy, deep red, charcoal brown, cream, and touches of gold, this piece exhibits the authentic patina of age. The distressed condition reveals areas of natural wear and low pile that tell the story of nearly a century of use, adding character and historical authenticity highly prized by collectors of tribal textiles. The elongated runner format and bold geometric design make this piece particularly versatile—stunning as a hallway runner, dramatic when displayed as a wall hanging, or as an eye-catching accent in any room. This rug represents the nomadic weaving traditions of Afghanistan's Baluch tribes, offering both artistic beauty and cultural significance.
