Hand-Knotted Baluch Tribal Area Rug
Item Details
A hand-knotted and embroidered tribal rug, attributed to Baluchi weavers. This wool area rug is rendered in a palette of blue/black, burgundy, camel, and toffee. It features a vertical row of complex medallions, which begin with concentric, stepped diamonds within sharply serrated diamond frames; these are enclosed in rectilinear star outlines incorporating stylized leaves and vines over a blue/black field. The field is framed by five geometric borders. Selvedges are double overcast in black, the rug finishing at each end with kilim skirts, including an embroidered running dog pattern and, at one end, a cross-stitch of pink and blue. Top and bottom feature knotted ivory and gray wool warp fringe. Unlabeled.
