Introducing a world of tribal beauty with this antique 1910s Baluch Rug, a remarkable piece that showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of Baluchi tribal weavers. Unlike the typical small scatter-size Baluch rugs that we see, this fantastic rug is extraordinary in its size from the tribal weavers and commands attention.
At the heart of this rug lies a linear repeated pattern adorned with intricate eight-pointed stars, symbolizing the essence of happiness and fertility. The motif of love and unison gracefully weaves its way throughout the entire rug, representing the eternal union between partners and creating an atmosphere of warmth and togetherness.
The border bands feature a unique S-hook motif, thoughtfully incorporated to ward off the envious gaze of the evil eye. Serving as a powerful protective symbol, it brings an added layer of spiritual significance to this exceptional piece.
This gem boasts a harmonious blend of simple color ways, combining deep and warm tones. This careful selection creates a balanced palette that effortlessly complements a variety of interior styles, bringing a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room.
Handwoven with vegetable-dyed wool, this rug exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail and traditional techniques employed by Baluchi tribal weavers. The use of natural dyes adds a timeless charm to the rug, enhancing its authenticity and beauty.
Although there is some wear, durability is a hallmark of this masterpiece, as it exhibits a sturdy construction that can withstand the test of time. Comparable to Turkoman rugs in terms of tribal elements and artistic expression, this Baluch Rug stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of its creators.
Embrace the grandeur of this large rug and let it serve as a magnificent foundational piece for any space. Whether displayed in a living room, study, or grand foyer, its presence will exude a sense of history, elegance, and wonderful artistry.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool circa 1900. Low pile on a sturdy foundation, with scattered wear congruent to age and history.
