About This Belutsch
Where it comes from
A Baluch rug, also written Belouch, is a tribal weaving from the borderlands of southeastern Iran, knotted on a portable loom rather than drawn in a workshop. This piece measures 220 x 116 cm (7'3" x 3'10"). The type is known for deep, earthy colour and bold angular geometry, and here that geometry unfolds as a row of five rather than settling on one fixed centre.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, warmed by soft abrash across the upper corners. Across its centre run five hooked diamond medallions in a single line, each drawn in dark blackish-brown, giving the eye a sequence to follow rather than one point to rest on. Narrow bands of small stylised rosettes frame this row, and beyond them a wide ivory border carries a dark running vine, flanked by an almost black band scattered with small diamonds, together taking up close to a fifth of the rug's width.
How it was made
This rug is hand-knotted on a cotton warp, with a pile of handspun wool, at 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre — dense for a piece made on a portable loom, and it shows in the crispness of each hooked diamond. The five are not identical: a Baluch weaver worked from memory rather than a fixed plan, so each diamond leans slightly differently from the last. The pile stands six millimetres deep, springy underfoot, and the rug wears its twenty to forty years lightly.
At home
A rug this size settles beside a bed, where feet meet it first each morning. Against pale floorboards the brick red holds its warmth, and the ivory border keeps a smaller room from feeling heavy. The wool is dense and springy, made for daily use rather than careful stepping-around. As light shifts across the field, the five diamonds seem to carry the eye along with it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 220 × 116 cm (2.55 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 2.55 m² that is roughly 330,000 to 410,000 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.
