Afghan Baluch Tribal Rug | 4'8" x 2'11" | c. 1970s
$1,100.00
Details
A striking tribal composition rendered in deep lapis blue and saturated madder red, this vintage Baluch rug commands attention with its repeated eight-petaled floral rosettes encased in sharply angular boteh-like forms. The symmetry of the pattern is bold yet nuanced, with charcoal-black outlines and fine yellow detailing enhancing the graphic power of the palette. The hand-knotted wool pile is tightly packed and luminous, with a dense, velvety feel underfoot.
