About This Belutsch
Where it comes from
This is a Baluch runner, also written Belouch, a tribal weaving from the borderlands of southeastern Iran, measuring 193 x 100 cm (6'4" x 3'3"). Baluch rugs are known for deep, earthy colour and bold geometric pattern, often built around a prayer-niche layout. This piece takes the same tribal vocabulary and turns it toward something more figurative than most.
What you see
The field is a deep indigo, close to black-blue, and it carries a column of four diamond medallions linked one into the next, each drawn in salmon-pink and cream. Above and below this chain run two rows of stylised birds, their bodies, heads and tails clearly outlined, repeated like a procession. A wide terracotta border, patterned with a crisp cream zigzag, closes the composition and holds the dark field firmly in place.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted, with a wool warp and a pile of handspun wool, at 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre. Spun by hand, the wool varies slightly in thickness knot to knot, giving the medallions and birds their soft, uneven edge rather than a printed crispness. Knotted from memory on a portable loom, not from a drawn plan, a piece at this density is months of work by one weaver, and that same freedom is what let the birds and the medallion chain take their own particular shape here.
At home
As a runner just over a metre wide, this piece suits a hallway or landing, seen in passing rather than sat upon. Against a pale floor, the indigo field grounds the space, while the terracotta border catches what light there is. The handspun wool feels dense and textured underfoot, firm enough for daily use, and each crossing brings the birds back into view.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 193 × 100 cm (1.93 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 1.93 m² that is roughly 250,000 to 310,000 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.
