The deep crimson ground is complemented by indigo blue, ivory, rust, and soft camel tones, creating a palette that remains highly sought after by collectors and interior designers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLikely woven in the Herat–Farah region of western Afghanistan during the second half of the 20th century, this rug displays the classic Tekke-influenced gul pattern that became synonymous with some of the finest Baluch weaving traditions. The drawing is crisp and well-balanced, with multiple geometric borders framing the field and providing excellent visual impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rug is hand-knotted wool and has developed a lovely aged character through decades of use. There is visible wear and areas of pile reduction consistent with age, along with some irregularities and signs of use which contribute to its authentic antique appearance. The colours remain particularly attractive, with the red field having mellowed beautifully over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis size works especially well as a statement piece in a study, bedroom, apartment, reading nook, or layered maximalist interior. Antique tribal rugs continue to perform strongly with collectors and fit particularly well with the ongoing interest in castlecore, old money, dark academia, and curated eclectic interiors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasurements: 186 x 124 cm (6'1\" x 4'1\")\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRug Type: Antique Afghan Baluch (Baluchi) Tribal Hand-Knotted Wool Rug, likely early–mid 20th century.","brand":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56681335751042,"sku":"30-05-26-N-45?-S-?-R156","price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/1405\/9185\/files\/il_fullxfull.8078451594_m8nf.jpg?v=1780159091","url":"https:\/\/circusofcurios.com\/products\/61-x-41-antique-afghan-baluch-baluchi-hand-knotted-wool-rug-madder-red-indigo-186-x-124-cm","provider":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
