AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Baloch are a nomadic people from the region of Balochistan, a region bordering Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Balochi rugs can be made on a foundation of cotton or wool, and goat or horsehair is often used in the weft. Traditionally they were made from sheep or goat wool from the tribes’ own herds, while modern Balochi rugs usually have a cotton warp.

Because of their tribal origin, the carpets are generally smaller and are woven on horizontal looms with vivid, geometric patterns. Curved life-tree patterns as well as prayer carpets with a prayer niche are typical and coveted specimens. The classic dark red, brown, or blue backgrounds often contrast with vibrant patterns in white, ivory, yellow, or orange tones. Belutsch carpets are relatively thin, but tightly woven, which makes them soft and flexible.

Condition: Generally in very good condition, around 1950,
