About This Belutsch
Where it comes from
A Baluch, also written Belouch, a tribal rug from the borderlands of southeastern Iran, measuring 176 x 98 cm (5'9" x 3'3"). These are weavings carried from memory rather than a drawn plan, known for bold, angular geometry and a deep, earthy palette. This piece draws its pattern with an unusual clarity, a quality tribal work does not always keep.
What you see
The field is a deep blackish brown, almost black, and against it a column of hooked diamond medallions runs the length of the rug in brick red and rust. Ivory marks the centre of each diamond, with small dots of olive green scattered through the ground around them. At the top and bottom of the column, small ivory hooks seem to gather into a stepped, crown-like edge. A broad stack of narrow guard borders, red, cream and dark brown, floral and hooked in turn, frames the field and takes up close to a fifth of the rug's width.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted, wool pile on a cotton warp, at a density of roughly 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre — modest against a city workshop, but exactly what a loom worked from memory, without a cartoon, is built to hold. The pile is clipped low, to about 6 mm, which keeps the diamond edges sharp rather than soft, and lets the dark ground hold its own against the red and ivory instead of letting the colours run together. Handspun wool gives the surface its faint, uneven sheen and slightly ribbed hand.
At home
At this size, the rug suits a narrow space — a hallway, a landing, or the floor beside a bed. The dark ground absorbs scuffed floors and dim light without disappearing itself, while the red and ivory of the medallions catch the eye and warm the room rather than simply filling it. Underfoot it is dense and firm, the low, tightly clipped wool made for daily footsteps rather than careful handling. Watch it as the light shifts through the day, and the ivory hooks along the medallion's edge sharpen and soften in turn, keeping the eye moving down the column.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 176 × 98 cm (1.72 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 1.72 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.
