This exquisite antique Baloch rug is a masterful example of tribal weaving from the nomadic Baluch people, celebrated for their bold designs and rich use of natural dyes. Handwoven from pure wool, the rug features a striking field of deep red tones with octagonal guls (medallions) arranged in geometric symmetry, a hallmark of Baluch artistry. Each medallion is intricately detailed with angular motifs, framed by stepped outlines and surrounded by smaller protective symbols, giving the piece both aesthetic beauty and cultural depth.
The borders add further sophistication with multiple guard bands in earthy reds, blues, and browns, creating a rhythmic contrast against the central field. The wool pile, renowned for its durability and soft lustre, showcases the natural dyes that have aged gracefully, further enhancing the rug’s timeless character. This antique Baloch rug is not only a decorative treasure but also a cultural artefact that reflects the resilience, symbolism, and nomadic spirit of its makers.
Authentic vintage and antique Balochi rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.
