About This Belutsch
Where it comes from
This is a Baluch, also written Baluchi, a tribal weaving from the border country of southeastern Iran, measuring 250 x 126 cm (8'2" x 4'2"). Baluch rugs are known for bold geometric drawing and a deep, earthy palette, often built around a single prayer-niche field. Here the weaver set that stillness aside for something more restless: a tall column of medallions running the full length of the rug.
What you see
The field is a deep blackish-brown, almost black beneath the colour above it. A stack of stepped diamond medallions in brick red runs down the centre, alternating with serrated tree motifs, so the eye moves steadily down the rug. Small touches of teal, rust-orange and green sit scattered through the field. Around it all runs an unusually full border, a dark band of small polychrome diamonds, a plain red guard stripe, and an ivory band of fine geometry against the black field.
How it was made
The wool was spun by hand before dyeing, which gives the pile its slight unevenness. At 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre, worked on a portable loom, this is a rug knotted from memory rather than from a drawn plan. That memory shows in the medallion column: instead of one symmetrical field, the weaver repeated a single motif down the rug's length, so the pattern reads as a sequence, and the full border holds it in place.
At home
This rug suits a hallway or landing, its column of medallions echoing footsteps passing by. Brick red and rust warm a corridor with little daylight, while the dark ground holds its own against pale walls or bare boards. Underfoot the wool is firm and slightly uneven, made to be walked on, and in low light its teal and green notes step briefly forward before settling back into the field.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 250 × 126 cm (3.15 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
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 3.15 m² that is roughly 400,000 to 500,000 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.
