About This Belutsch
Where it comes from
This is a Baluch, also written Belouch, a tribal weaving from the border country of south-eastern Iran, measuring 171 x 100 cm (5'7" x 3'3"). The type is known for bold, angular geometry and a deep, earthy palette of brick red and indigo, patterns carried from memory rather than drawn to a plan. This particular piece shows something the tradition rarely states so plainly: four birds, clearly drawn, standing either side of its central medallion.
What you see
The field opens in a deep brick red, broken at the centre by a calm panel of ivory. Within that panel sits a stepped diamond medallion, and to each side stand the four birds, their wings, legs and tails kept distinct rather than merged into pure ornament. Around this centre runs a broad red border of hooked latch-hook motifs, itself framed by a run of narrow guard stripes in navy, ivory and rust, the whole surround taking up a good fifth of the rug.
How it was made
The wool is hand-spun and knotted by hand onto a cotton warp, at a density of 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre, tight enough to hold a clean, flat line instead of letting one shape bleed into the next. That is why the birds read as birds and not as a gesture towards one, each wing and tail kept legible against the ivory ground. A pile of six millimetres, sheared close and left without sheen, gives the whole surface a matte, graphic evenness rather than the softness pile depth usually brings.
At home
At this size the rug suits a bedroom, laid beside the bed or under a window seat, or a hallway where the ivory panel catches what light there is against a darker floor. Underfoot it is dense and firm, wool that has already carried twenty to forty years of daily use and shows no wish to be spared more of it. Morning light crosses the indigo stripes first, then settles into the red, and the four birds hold their ground through all of it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 171 × 100 cm (1.71 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 1.71 m² that is roughly 220,000 to 270,000 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.
