Baluch / 20279

This Baluch antique rug, 3' 5" x 6' 1", carries a richly layered figurative composition in deep blue, purple, rust, and earthy neutral tones. The field unfolds with architectural and niche-like imagery, framed by a narrow border of repeating geometric motifs and finely spaced guard bands. Wool lends the surface a soft, tactile hand, while the low distress and measured wear give the drawing a quiet, weathered depth. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reflects the distinctive graphic language associated with Baluch weaving, with an intimate scale and a palette that has settled into a subdued, age-worn harmony.
