Late 19th Century Baluch Carpet ( 4'6" x '6'9" - 137 x 206 )
Antique Baluch Afghanistan Blue 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional tribal weaving hails from the nomadic Baluch tradition of Afghanistan, representing the pinnacle of late 19th-century nomadic artistry. These highly collectible pieces are prized for their dense knotting and deeply saturated natural dyes, hallmarks of genuine antique rugs.
The palette is characteristically somber yet rich, relying on a foundation of deep indigo and midnight blue color rugs, contrasted sharply with madder-dyed rust and earthen browns. This sophisticated interplay of color defines the rug's powerful visual presence, allowing the intricate motifs to emerge from the shadowed field.
The design employs classic Baluch iconography, featuring a dense arrangement of highly stylized botanical and animal forms rendered with strict symmetry. The field is covered in powerful, repeating geometric rugs patterns, centered around a series of stacked diamond medallions that anchor the composition with traditional nomadic symbolism.
Woven in a versatile format, this piece functions perfectly as a small scatter size rugs, ideal for layering or highlighting a specific area within a study or hallway. Its enduring structure and deeply patinated wool ensure that this Baluch weaving remains a timeless testament to nomadic craftsmanship, offering both history and texture to contemporary interiors.
