Baluch Bird & Gul Rug in Madder Red | 3’3” x 5’9”

Tribal, graphic, and full of small protective symbols.

This vintage Baluch reads like a field journal of motifs. The ground is a rich madder red with gentle abrash. Marching in rows are octagonal tribal guls with rams-horn details in inky indigo and walnut brown, touched with ivory.

Scattered between them you will spot little birds, a favorite Baluch charm for good luck and plenty. Slim latch-hook devices and end panels tighten the rhythm, while a narrow ivory and dark braid border frames the whole piece with a neat finish.

Hand knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, circa 1980s, with a smooth, medium-low pile that is sturdy underfoot.

At 3’3” x 5’9”, it is an easy fit for an entry, in front of a sofa, under a writing desk, beside a bed, or layered over a larger natural fiber rug. The earthy palette pairs well with leather, wood, and black metal. If you want a compact rug that brings real tribal character without shouting, this Baluch does it beautifully.

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!
