A striking vintage Afghan Baluch hand-knotted wool rug with a bold tribal geometric design in deep madder red, charcoal, and indigo tones. The stepped motifs and angular floral medallions give it a strong graphic quality that works particularly well with darker interiors, rustic spaces, and current maximalist and collected-interior trends. The palette has a great aged depth to it, with the naturally softened wool giving the rug a rich, atmospheric appearance.
Hand-knotted in wool, likely mid 20th century, with a low dense pile and traditional tribal border work. The rug has a supple handle and displays beautifully on the floor. There is visible age-related wear and some edge wear/fraying as shown in the photographs, which adds to its authentic character and patina without detracting from display or use.
Approximate size: 3'1" x 5'4" (95 x 164 cm).
Likely Afghan Baluch (Baluchi) tribal work, probably from the Herat–Farah / Khorasan weaving tradition, mid 20th century.
