About This Belutsch
Where it comes from
This is a Baluch runner, also written Belouch, hand-knotted in the tribal weaving grounds of southeastern Iran, measuring 281 x 120 cm (9'3" x 3'11"). The type is known for bold, angular geometry and a deep, earthy palette, passed down through generations of nomadic weavers. This piece takes that vocabulary somewhere more graphic: a column of stacked tree motifs marching down an almost black ground.
What you see
The field reads first as a deep blackish brown, warmed by a hint of aubergine beneath. Down its length runs a single column of stylised tree-and-hook motifs, worked in brick red, rust, camel, dusty pink and olive against that dark ground. Each panel shifts very slightly in tone, as if drawn afresh rather than repeated. A wide border in rust, olive and cream closes the field, its small stepped medallions and touches of teal giving the piece a firm, graphic edge.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool, so each strand varies slightly in thickness, and that variation gives the surface its matte, faintly uneven texture. Knotted on a cotton warp at around 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre, worked from memory rather than a drawn plan, the weaver kept the tree columns bold and blocky rather than finely detailed. At 6 mm the pile sits close and firm, and twenty to forty years have not blurred a single edge.
At home
A runner of this size suits a hallway or landing, walked rather than merely viewed. Where daylight is scarce, the rust and camel tones lift the space, and the near-black ground holds its own against dark furniture. Underfoot the hand-spun wool feels dense and springy, built for daily footsteps rather than careful preservation. In low afternoon light the tree columns seem to step forward, one compartment at a time.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 281 × 120 cm (3.37 m²) this is a runner. It belongs in a hallway, an entrance, on a landing or lengthways beside a bed. It is too narrow for the middle of a room.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre; across 3.37 m² that is roughly 430,000 to 540,000 individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
