Behold, a resilient relic of the old world, this Baluch rug bears witness to the passage of time, steadfastly enduring the trials of generations. Crafted by the nomadic artisans of the Baluchi tribe, this tribal masterpiece epitomizes both heritage and culture. Remarkably slender, measuring under 2 feet in width, it stands as a rare gem within any collection, as the skinny width is truly a hard find.
Combining two weaving techniques with finesse, this rug showcases a hand-knotted field adorned with intricate small scale art, complemented by Kilim ends and finishes. Despite its weathered appearance, bearing the marks of its journey through the years, including a few tiny patches (please see detailed photos), this rug retains its intrinsic durability, capable of withstanding the rigors of daily life even in high-traffic areas.
Woven from the rich hues of vegetable-dyed wool, its fibers imbued with the echoes of ancient traditions, this piece transports us back to circa 1880, offering a tangible connection to bygone eras. Its enduring presence not only adorns living spaces but also serves as a testament to the resilience and craftsmanship of a nomadic culture etched into the fabric of history.
