About This Belutsch
Where it comes from
This is a Baluch rug, also written Belouch, a tribal weaving from the borderlands of southeastern Iran, measuring 182 x 95 cm (6'0" x 3'1"). Baluch weavers are known for bold, angular geometry and a palette built on deep red and indigo, carried from memory rather than drawn out on paper. This piece keeps that colour but sets it to an unusually ordered plan.
What you see
The field is a warm ivory, packed with a fine diamond lattice and framed by a wide dark red-brown border. A plain band crosses the centre, splitting the lattice into two mirrored halves; each cell holds a small stylised tree or rosette, in rust-red, terracotta and dark brown, with a touch of dark green and a flash of ivory. The border repeats the geometry at a larger scale, a maroon zigzag lattice with narrower brick-red stripes, together close to a fifth of the width.
How it was made
This piece was hand-knotted from memory on a portable loom, with no drawn plan, so pattern usually drifts as the hand moves down the field. Here the drawing was held consistently enough to fold the lattice into two matching halves, not always seen in pieces of this kind. Warp and pile are hand-spun wool, giving the surface its soft ribbing rather than a machine finish. A knot count of 128,000 to 160,000 per square metre holds the 6 mm pile firm, in a rug now forty to sixty years old.
At home
This is a rug for a hallway, a landing, or the floor beside a bed. The ivory ground lifts a dark or windowless passage, while the maroon border holds its own against a stone or dark wood floor. The hand-spun wool is dense and lightly textured underfoot, matte rather than shining, sound enough for daily footsteps. Morning light catches the mirrored diamonds edge-on, doubling the pattern each time you pass.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 182 × 95 cm (1.73 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 1.73 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.
