About the Item

Own a piece of Central Asian nomadic history with this compelling Antique Afghan Baluch Rug, hand-knotted from high-quality tribal wool circa the 1910s. Baluch rugs, named after the nomadic people who weave them across the Afghanistan-Iran border region, are celebrated for their distinctive dark color palettes, geometric motifs, and incredibly sturdy construction. Earthy Palette and Classic Tribal Motifs This rug features a rich, warm field dominated by Terracotta and Deep Red-Brown hues, characteristic of natural Baluch dyes. The design is organized into vertical rows of interlocking geometric medallions (often referred to as gül or compartmentalized patterns), executed in high-contrast tones of Navy Blue, Black, and touches of Cream. The overall impression is one of timeless, earthy elegance. Its versatile size makes it perfect as a narrow runner, an accent in a study or library, or layered for a bohemian, curated look. The wool used is exceptionally robust, making it suitable for areas requiring durable textile coverage. This genuine antique rug is presented in good condition consistent with its age. It displays the desirable, low, soft pile and minor signs of use that authenticate it as a cherished, century-old tribal artifact.
