A lovely vintage Southern Afghan Baluch rug hand knotted from wool on a wool foundation and dyed with natural dyes in earthy brown hues. The rug shows some obvious signs of ware as can be seen in the photos but it still has lots of life left in it. Approximately 70 years old.

Baluchi rugs are soft and flexible yet extremely resilient and have a real feeling of age and history behind them. They are sought after in the West due to their tribal appeal. Baluch rugs are limited in size due to their tribal origins, woven on horizontal looms the maximum length is normally around 2-2.5 metres. Baluch rugs are excellent value for money to this day.
