AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pile: % Wool
Weft & Warp: 100% cotton
Quality: Hand-knotted
Knot count: approx. 160,000 / m2
Pile height: 8 mm
Origin: Afghanistan
The Baluch carpets (also Belutsch) come from a nomadic people of the Baluchistan region, a border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan. They live from agriculture, rug production, and sheep, goat, and camel herding. Traditionally the carpets are made from sheep's wool or goat hair from the tribes’ own flocks. Due to their tribal origin, the carpets are usually smaller because of the high transport needs, feature geometric patterns or stylized floral motifs, and are hand-knotted. The classic dark red, brown, or blue backgrounds are often contrasted with lively patterns in white, ivory, yellow, or orange tones. Baluch carpets are comparatively thin, but rather densely woven, making them soft and flexible. Perfect for everyday use and with a lot of movement. Even today these carpets still offer an excellent price-performance ratio as well as excellent durability.
