Origin: Baluch
Date: Last quarter of the 19th century
Dimensions: 185 × 110 cm
Description:
This characterful Baluch rug is arranged as a grid of small square “windows,” each containing a stylized motif derived from ancient Turkmen guls. Handwoven in the late 19th century—a period of rich artistic expression—it features ribbon-like minor borders typical of Baluch work and a palette of vibrant reds, deep blues, and rare touches of white that make the design stand out.
Natural abrash lends depth and rhythm to the field, subtly shifting the tones and emphasizing the rug’s handmade nature and traditional dyeing techniques. Areas of black wool corrosion create a gentle 3D effect, adding texture and authenticity. A beautifully balanced and historically rich example of Baluch weaving, full of movement, warmth, and tribal character.
