Blue gray carries the field, which holds dainty rows of rust and cream rosettes in an all-over repeat with no central medallion. A wide burgundy border frames the center, filled with repeating hexagonal figures in black and rust. A narrow cream guard stripe runs along the inner edge. The pile is worn low across the middle, and the foundation shows in places. Cool blue tones and warm rust accents balance each other in a compact room. At 3'3\" by 5'7\", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 19th-century rug at Colgate University, attributed to the Bahlul tribal group, repeats diagonal rows of a motif typical of Baluch grain bags. A Baluch bride and her mother wove the balisht, a pillow or grain bag that was often part of the dowry, and such bags were usually woven in pairs. Baluch weaving comes from the semi-nomadic groups of eastern Persia and western Afghanistan. The formats are small because the looms were portable, and the designs repeat a handful of motifs carried between camps. This rug keeps that small scale and the recurring geometric forms in the field. The blue gray ground and rust accents create a strong contrast within the dense pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.

Across a faded red field, rows of dark brown octagonal guls repeat in a strict grid with stepped cream centers. Smaller geometric figures fill the open ground between the main motifs. A gorgeous rust border carries a chain of linked diamonds in cream and near-black. Narrow guard stripes of small triangles and diagonal lines frame the drawing on every side.

Tekke rugs are the most easily identified of the Turkmen, because the quartered gul of their larger carpets became something of a trademark and was often copied elsewhere. Torkaman weavers in northeastern Persia work to a strict repeating grid of gul motifs, one octagonal figure repeated across the field with almost no variation. Because the drawing never changes, all the life is in the color. This rug keeps that strict grid in its columns of dark brown octagons set against the red ground. The rust border and the small cream accents inside each gul carry the warmth across the whole piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
