Columns of cream and dark brown hexagons repeat on this lovely rug. Deep red fills the field, where columns of cream and dark brown hexagons connect through striped bars. Smaller diamond shapes with brown cores run down the center between the main vertical bands. Half-hexagon motifs line the long edges where the red ground meets the side finish. A narrow near-black edge frames the length, holding the geometric drawing in place without a wide patterned border. A few patches of pile have thinned, and small white specks show where the weave sits low. It holds a warm tribal note in a tight spot, the cream shapes breaking up the solid red ground. At 1'8" by 5', it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a bed.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
About Baluch rugs
Older Baluch rugs are typically dark, in reds, browns and blues with touches of white, and many have long striped aprons at both ends. A 19th-century Baluch carpet in the Victoria and Albert Museum has two large red medallions shaped like animals with legs, each holding a small tree. 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 repeating geometric vocabulary, with hexagons and diamonds marching down the length. The deep red ground stays bright against the cream and dark brown drawing, filling the narrow format with a steady rhythm.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
