The restrained palette is punctuated by rich madder-red highlights and deep charcoal detailing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLikely woven in the Baluch regions of western Afghanistan during the mid to late 20th century, this rug displays the geometric motifs and intricate border work characteristic of traditional Baluch weaving. The muted ground colour is particularly desirable and less commonly encountered than the stronger red-field examples, making it highly suitable for modern interiors while retaining authentic tribal character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand-knotted in wool, the rug has developed a wonderful aged patina through decades of use. The pile remains generally even, with age-related wear, minor irregularities, and softening of the dyes consistent with an antique tribal rug. The subtle abrash and naturally mellowed colours give the piece considerable depth and character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts versatile size makes it ideal for a hallway, bedside placement, reading corner, study, or layered interior scheme. The subdued palette aligns perfectly with current demand for antique tribal textiles within Japandi, quiet luxury, old money, wabi-sabi, and collected maximalist interiors.","brand":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56681335882114,"sku":"30-05-26-N-35?-S-TM-R157","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/1405\/9185\/files\/il_fullxfull.8078544254_qrly.jpg?v=1780159096","url":"https:\/\/circusofcurios.com\/products\/43-x-28-vintage-afghan-baluch-hand-knotted-wool-rug-soft-taupe-madder-red-131-x-81-cm","provider":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
