Vintage Baluch Tribal Rug

Eastern Persia, late 20th c.
Vegetable-dyed wool pile on cotton, 4 ft 8 in × 9 ft 5 in (142 × 286 cm), pile height ≈ 0.7 cm

With its glowing persimmon red field and rows of abstract plants and trees motifs, this tribal Baluch rug feels like a stylised orchard in full bloom. Each little tree is outlined in inky indigo or walnut brown and filled with pops of sage, saffron, coral, and teal. Small eight-point rosettes drift between the saplings, giving the composition a gentle, almost confetti-like rhythm.

A narrow inner fence of black triangles frames the scene, while the main border—woven on an ivory ground—alternates cheerful snowflake guls in every colour the weavers had at hand. Natural abrash in the red ground lets the shades shift from soft salmon to ripe tomato, a hallmark of hand-dyed yarns. The sides wander a little, proof that the loom stood on earthen ground rather than in a workshop, and that irregular charm is part of the Baluch story.

Please Consider

Our rugs are truly unique and crafted with care. Their vintage and handmade nature means they may have imperfections and signs of wear, which add character. Each rug is handmade, so it may not be a perfect rectangle.

We strive to capture the rugs’ true colors in daylight photography, but they might appear slightly different in low-light environments or on different screen settings.

We’re happy to provide photos taken in different lighting or answer any questions.

Feel free to reach out if you need more information or assistance.

Sustainability

For every rug you purchase, we plant one tree.

Choosing vintage and antique rugs reduces waste, lowers the demand for new materials, and extends product lifespan—reducing your carbon footprint. Our rugs are crafted from natural and recyclable materials, promoting sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Care Instructions

Vacuuming

Regular vacuuming keeps your rug looking its best and extends its lifespan, reducing the need for professional cleaning. For best results, vacuum both the front and back sides of the rug from side to side, avoiding the fringes.

Spills

If spills occur, blot them immediately with a cloth. Then spray water on the spot and blot again, repeating as needed. For pet urine, spray white vinegar to help break down the enzymes that cause odor.

Professional Rug Cleaning

It’s generally recommended to have your rug professionally cleaned every five years, but trust your instincts—if it appears to need cleaning, don’t hesitate to have it washed. Hand-knotted carpets should never be dry cleaned or steam cleaned. Wall-to-wall carpet cleaning companies are usually not a good option. Always choose a professional rug cleaner who specializes in cleaning fine, handwoven carpets. If you’re in the GTA, we can provide professional rug cleaning for you!
