AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Baluch (Baluci) rug originating from the tribal regions of western Afghanistan. This rug embodies nomadic textile tradition, characterized by an entirely woolen structure (Wool on Wool), which makes it extremely soft, flexible and resistant.
Design: The central field features a succession of geometric medallions "Gül" (inspired by Turkmen motifs), framed by Greek-key borders and sawtooth motifs typical of tribal iconography.
Colors: A classic, deep palette, dominated by rust red and smoky black. The colors are achieved with dyes that impart the characteristic abrash shades (natural tonal variations), a sign of artisanal authenticity.
Structure: Warp and weft in wool, pile in high-quality wool. The fringes are in natural wool, consistent with the original craftsmanship.
Conditions: good condition, uniform pile, ends and edges intact.
Dimensions: 200 x 95 cm
This rug is not only a decorative object but a piece of tribal history, ideal for both classic and modern spaces thanks to its geometric rigor.
