Baluch Rug NE Persia, Khorasan Region

Baluch Rug NE Persia, Khorasan Region

Size 2’10” x 5’2″

Date 1880-1899

In this rug one sees familiar elements of the Baluch design vocabulary rendered in a primitive fashion suggestive of a nomadic setting. Three Baluch-style trees divide the field vertically. Reciprocal animal or bird heads, rather than the more common sectioned leaves, populate the trees. Three rows of white flower heads or “nectarine” blossoms provide balance and stability to the field composition. The ground color has a brownish-red tonality reminiscent of a shade one sees in certain Turkmen weavings. Three abrashed areas transverse the rug.

Condition: Very Good. There are isolated areas of slight wear otherwise the pile is full. End kilims, top and bottom, are intact and in good condition. Four cord selvedges are overcast with lamb wool and small amounts of what appears to be camel hair.

The field design of this rare Baluch depicts a highly abstract garden landscape including paths, streams, and water basins. It is populated by many small animals.
