An authentic 3.5x6 Antique Balouchi rug in this visual condition holds significant aesthetic and historical appeal.
Provenance: Hand-woven by nomadic or semi-nomadic Balouchi tribes historically operating across the borders of Northeast Persia (Khorasan), Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
Design & Layout: It features a rich, deep crimson red field, structured in a linear layout of four large, nested geometric medallions (resembling the classic "elephant's foot" or gül motifs). It is framed by multi-layered geometric guard borders, sharp zig-zag running bands, and stylized tribal iconography.
Materials & Weave: Woven out of 100% natural hand-spun wool pile. The dark accents are a mix of charcoal black, indigo blue, and deep dark chocolate brown wool. The fringe features traditional, undyed, flat-woven ends.
- Weave Density: The close-up indicates a fine, tight knot count typical of high-quality Balouchi tribal weaving.
- Material Quality: The wool shows a natural, rich luster, which suggests the use of traditional hand-spun wool and natural dyes.
- Condition: The edges (selvedges) and fringes appear intact, well-preserved, and free from major structural dry rot or unravelling
