About Persian Baluch Rugs

Persian Baluch rugs are traditionally woven by Baluchi tribes in the southeastern regions near the borders of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Known for their compact size, tribal character, and saturated natural dyes, these rugs often incorporate symbolic and pictorial elements reflecting the weavers' surroundings and beliefs. Their wool-on-wool construction and asymmetrical knotting contribute to a supple yet durable texture. Though smaller in scale, Baluch rugs carry profound cultural significance and offer a unique glimpse into the tribal artistry of nomadic Persia.
