Afghan Balouch

A fine antique Balouch rug dating to around 1890, handwoven by the Balouch tribes of the region spanning present-day Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Renowned for their distinctive tribal artistry, Balouch rugs are highly regarded for their rich colour palettes, intricate geometric motifs, and exceptional handwoven character.

This rug displays the traditional craftsmanship associated with 19th-century Balouch weaving, featuring beautifully aged colours and a striking tribal design. The wool has developed a desirable patina over time, adding warmth, depth, and authenticity to the piece.

Presented in good antique condition for its age, the rug shows wear consistent with more than a century of use while retaining its decorative appeal and structural integrity. Its character, history, and timeless design make it an excellent choice for collectors, enthusiasts of tribal textiles, or anyone seeking a genuine antique rug with presence and charm.
