AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hand-knotted Afghanistan Beluch (Baluch) - 124 x 82 cm
For sale: a beautiful, authentic hand-knotted rug with a characteristic tribal design. This type of rug is traditionally woven by nomadic tribes in the border region between Persia (Iran) and Afghanistan.
This piece stands out for its powerful color usage and geometric construction. The central field contains three stacked diamond-shaped medallions (Gül motifs) in a deep, warm red hue, set off against a dark blue and earthy pattern. The rich border is built up from multiple fine bands with repeating star and cross motifs, which is typical of nomadic weaving.
Specifications
Origin: Khorasan region (Belouch / Baluch weaving).
Dimensions: approx. 124 x 82 cm.
Material: Wool fleece of 100% natural wool on a woolen/cotton warp.
Color scheme: Classic "Madder" red (madder), indigo blue, ochre yellow and natural brown tones.
Knot density: Hand-knotted with a supple, tribal structure.
Condition
The rug is in good vintage condition with an authentic patina that suits its age and origin. The colors have remained beautifully preserved. The fringes at the ends are original, and the sides (longsides) are sturdy.
See the photos for a detailed view of the pile and the back of the knotwork.
