Description
I am very partial to the 19th century rugs of the Baluch tribes of Ferdows for their beautiful, natural, indigo-blue ground depicting a water-garden with stylised fish swimming around water-lilies and their powerful madder-red border with the flower and vine pattern.These Ferdows Baluch rugs are seldom seen in the Western market-place these days, and this one recently came to me from one of my Afghanistan sources.
This rug, made circa 1900, is larger than most Ferdows rugs I've located over the past 40 years, with exceptionally lustrous woollen pile, cotton warps and wefts, and in excellent condition.
As a comparison, please see the beautiful Ferdows rug illustrated in the third edition of my book 'Tribal Rugs - Treasures of the Black Tent' on page 118, which is of a slightly earlier date.
Size: 2.18m x 1.34m (7' 2" x 4' 5").
