In beautiful condition, this stunning Baluch rug, made circa 1880, has a deep indigo-blue ground with a depiction of ivory nectar-blossom flowers throughout. I find the madder-red main border most attractive with its depiction of stylised 'trees-of-life' on each side. The rug is complete with flat-woven and brocaded skirts, the sides over-bound in strong goat-hair and it is in excellent condition.

Once, part of a double saddlebag, this remaining knotted-pile face was made by Mushwani tribes in the Herat and Badghis regions of western Afghanistan at the end of the nineteenth century.
The Mushwani are a Persian-speaking people of Pashtun ancestry who inhabited the mountains of the Amu Darya river region and their weavings are regularly mistaken for Baluch.

Item Ref
BM1736
A very attractive and beautifully woven Ru-Korssi (cover), made by Baluch tribes in the Khorassan area of north-east Persia, probably in the mid 20th century.
The quality of the work is masterful having a natural camel-hair ground with a stylised pre-Islamic cross in the centre surrounded by four 'trees-of-life'. The main border is superbly executed using a symbol often found in nineteenth century Timuri weavings.
Although there is a mix of natural and synthetic colours, it shows how this fine weaving can be found from the mid 20th century.
Size: 1.32m x 1.25m (4' 4" x 4' 1").

BM/Baluch
Rare, early Baluchis like this one are few and far between and particularly in such very good condition.
Made around 1860 in Khorassan Province, north-eastern Persia, a similar example can be seen in the V & A collection, but not as early as this one! The intense indigo-blue field depicts a serrated leaf adjoining flower-heads - possibly nectar-blossom - and the continuous vine main border symbolises the eternal cycle of life. This fabulous Baluch is in excellent condition with a few expertly-done repairs and retains its long chevron skirts at each end.
This rug is among the best of nineteenth century Khorassan Baluch rugs and is highly collectible.
Size: 2.50m x 1.30m (8' 3" x 4' 3").

Magnificent natural colours abound in this rare and superb rug of the Baluch nomads of north-east Persia, made around 1870. The natural camel-hair field contains what appear to be stylised leaves in shades of vegetable aubergine, turquoise, light and mid indigo-blues. The main border is stunning with its light-blue continuous vine running all the way round on a glowing madder-red background colour. The only damage on the rug is in the two narrow bands of dark-brown soumack weave in both skirts, where the dark-brown dye has corroded due to the mordant effect. The lower skirt has the worst of the damage and I have had the bands sewn onto a backing cloth to protect from any further damage rather than remove the skirts completely which would, in my mind, amount to sacrilege! The rug is such a superb example of its type that I feel it should be placed in a very quiet room or hung on a wall - a great way to admire such a fabulous piece.

This rug has been in my personal collection for many years and has been one of my all-time favourite Baluchi rugs. I've had great pleasure from it and now it is time for someone else to enjoy it. This is probably one of the best Bahluli Baluch rugs I've seen over the years, with it fabulous array of vegetable colours - indigo-blue, madder-red, turquoise, pea-green and highlights of natural undyed ivory wool. The aubergine field contains a myriad of 'birds-heads' lozenges interspersed with various symbols and, if you look closely, you will observe a few animal figures. The outer red and inner ivory borders are most attractive having a scroll-like design, which I suspect might symbolise flowing water. The long flat-woven skirts are intact at each end of the rug - a very desirable feature.
The rug is illustrated in the third edition of my book 'Tribal Rugs - Treasures of the Black Tent' on page 126.
Size: 1.82m x 0.91m (6' 0" x 3' 0").
