About This Belutsch
Where it comes from
This is a Baluch, also written Belouch, a tribal weaving from the borderlands of southeastern Iran, measuring 212 x 102 cm (6'11" x 3'4"). The type is known for bold, angular geometry and a deep, earthy palette, carried by wool spun by hand rather than machine, and knotted from memory rather than a drawn plan.
What you see
The field is a deep midnight blue, almost black, and against it the pattern reads like fire. Vertical columns of hooked boteh run the length of the rug, no medallion, the surface entirely given to repeat. Small rosettes scatter between the columns, and cream touches sit at each boteh's heart. Column by column the red shifts, crimson in one, softened toward salmon in the next. A wide camel-brown border, patterned with rust and navy diamonds, closes the field, edged by a narrow zigzag stripe in the same near-black blue.
How it was made
Hand-spun wool takes dye unevenly from batch to batch, and that is what gives the boteh columns their shift from deep crimson to pale salmon, rather than a flat, uniform red. Knotted at 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre on a cotton warp, the weave is open enough, by city-workshop standards, to let the wool's texture show through, ribbed and matte rather than sheened. At six millimetres the pile stays low, keeping the pattern sharp while the hand-spun character remains plain to see.
At home
At just over two metres by one, this rug suits a hallway or landing, or a spot beside a bed. The near-black field warms a corridor with little daylight, while the rust and salmon boteh carry it along underfoot. Dense and firmly woven, it wears well and is easily walked on, better suited to a passage than a room kept for best. Catch it in shifting light and the crimson-to-salmon rhythm keeps drawing the eye.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 212 × 102 cm (2.16 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 2.16 m² that is roughly 280,000 to 350,000 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.
