The Baluch rugs (also Belutsch) come from a nomadic ethnic group in the Baluchistan region, a border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan. They live from agriculture, rug production, as well as sheep, goat, and camel husbandry. Traditionally the rugs are made from sheep wool or goat hair from the tribes’ own herds. Due to their tribal origin, the rugs are generally 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 rugs are comparatively thin, yet rather densely woven, which makes them soft and flexible. Perfect for daily use and lots of movement. Even today these rugs still offer an excellent value for money as well as excellent durability.
