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.

A most attractive early rug of the Baluch nomads of Khorassan, north-east Persia, made circa 1870. The overall condition is very good and an old 23cm (9") old re-weave in the centre-right has been well improved. The brown dye has mordant corrosion, which is expected in most Baluch rugs and weavings of this age. Nevertheless, this is a very handsome and collectible rug.
Size: 1.70m x 1.14m (5' 7" x 3' 9").

What attracted me to this charming rug were the juxtaposition of the stunning vegetable colours. There is a subtle movement of colour throughout - a gorgeous pea-green and darker green appearing throughout as well as a small amount of sky-blue, shining out of the darkness.
Symmetrically knotted pile suggests a Bahluli - Baluch origin somewhere in south-eastern Persia and made circa 1860-1870. An ivory border frames the field containing a version of 'quincunx' or dice-fives - symbols of protection.
The rug is in good condition with low-cut pile and the remains of what were once, probably, slightly longer kilim skirts.
Size: 1.50m x 0.87m (5' 0" x 2' 10").

This beautiful, small, early Baluch rug has fabulous, glossy wool, as would be expected from a second half 19th century Baluch, and in very good overall condition.
The main border design is unusual and most attractive and the inner border is knotted in natural camel-hair. This is a very collectible rug from the Khorassan Baluch nomads.

Item Ref
BM/RK
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").

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.
