This vintage Baloch rug is a striking example of the tribal craftsmanship of the nomadic Baloch people from the Iran-Afghanistan border region. Woven in a deep, earthy brown palette with subtle variations, the rug features a central prayer niche or mihrab design, often used in devotional settings, lending it a sense of quiet spirituality and purpose.
Intricate architectural motifs, flanked by striped pillars and stylised arches, create a symmetrical layout that draws the eye inward. The muted ivory border provides contrast, adorned with a sequence of tribal geometric symbols and diamond forms that frame the field elegantly.
Made from wool with a tightly knotted construction, this rug boasts a beautifully worn patina, reflecting years of use and a rich heritage. Its subdued tones and symbolic design make it an ideal piece for collectors or those seeking a soulful and understated accent with historical depth and tribal character.
Authentic vintage and antique Baloch rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.

Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your rug in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.
