Antique Baluch Small Scatter Size Wool Brown Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of nomadic weaving presents the rich, earthy palette characteristic of its origin. Woven in the late 19th century, this piece belongs to the tradition of baluch rugs, known for their tightly knotted structure and profound use of natural dyes.

The primary field color is a warm, saturated camel tone, which provides a striking contrast to the deep indigo and rich madder red elements. The overall aesthetic leans toward the sophisticated brown earth tone color rugs that anchor a space with quiet authority. The lustrous, hand-spun wool retains its remarkable texture after more than a century.

The design employs a highly stylized, columnar arrangement of geometric guls and stepped motifs. This dense, repeating composition ensures that the eye is constantly engaged across the entire surface, defining it as a classic allover rugs layout, typical of tribal scatter pieces.

Measuring perfectly as a small scatter size, this rug is ideal for use in an entryway, beside a bed, or layered over a larger floor covering. It represents a superb opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of history, joining our curated collection of exceptional antique rugs from the late 19th century. See less
