About This Belutsch
Where it comes from
This is a Baluch, also written Belouch, a tribal weaving from the borderlands of southeastern Iran, 177 x 99 cm (5'10" x 3'3"). The type is known for its bold geometric vocabulary and deep, earthy colouring, and for prayer-niche layouts that recur across generations of weavers. This particular piece sets the single niche aside in favour of something more rhythmic.
What you see
A deep brick red governs the field from the first glance, warm rather than fiery. Down its centre runs a column of five hooked-diamond medallions, each identical, each dark blackish-brown with a small ivory hook set inside like a signature repeated five times. Around this sequence, a wide dark border carries a meander of hooks, held on either side by narrow bands of ivory and rust zigzag and diamond, the whole frame taking up close to a fifth of the width and standing in firm contrast against the red.
How it was made
Everything here was knotted by hand, from memory rather than from a drawn cartoon, with a pile of hand-spun wool six millimetres deep on a wool warp. Hand-spun yarn varies slightly in thickness along its length, which is why the five diamonds sit close but never quite identical, even though the weaver meant them to match. The knot density, 128,000 to 160,000 per square metre, belongs to a nomadic loom rather than a city workshop, and leaves the wool's texture visible in the surface rather than smoothed away.
At home
A rug this size suits a hallway, a study, or the floor beside a bed, somewhere seen daily rather than crossed by a crowd. The brick red warms a pale floor and holds its own against dark furniture. Underfoot the hand-spun wool feels firm and springy, sturdy enough for daily use, and the five diamonds catch the eye afresh each time the light shifts along the row.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 177 × 99 cm (1.75 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
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 1.75 m² that is roughly 220,000 to 280,000 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.
