A striking vintage Afghan Baluch (Baluchi) tribal rug featuring a rich madder red field with deep indigo and black detailing, woven in a classic tree-of-life inspired layout with geometric floral motifs. The design is structured yet organic, with repeating branching forms and stylised blossoms that give the piece a strong sense of rhythm and movement.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has a soft, low pile with a naturally aged patina that enhances its depth of colour. The border is bold and graphic, framing the central field with angular tribal motifs in darker tones, creating a strong contrast against the warmer ground.

There is visible age-related wear, including areas of thinning and a worn section as shown, along with some fringe wear at the ends. These imperfections are consistent with a genuinely used vintage piece and add to its character rather than detract. Structurally it remains sound and displays beautifully.

Measuring approximately 3'4" x 5'4" (102 x 162 cm), it is a versatile size—ideal for smaller rooms, layering, or adding a hit of colour and pattern to a space.

Likely woven in Afghanistan (Baluch tribal groups, Herat–Farah / Khorasan region), mid to late 20th century.

This rug fits perfectly within current maximalist, bohemian, and “collected interior” trends, where authentic wear and strong pattern are highly sought after.
