About This Belutsch
Where it comes from
This is a Baluch, also written Belouch, a tribal weaving from the border country of southeastern Iran, measuring 187 x 102 cm (6'2" x 3'4"). The type is known for bold angular pattern, earthy reds and indigo, and wool spun by hand rather than machine. Here that vocabulary appears with a discipline rarely seen in tribal weaving of this kind.
What you see
An ivory ground carries two mirrored rows of large octagonal guls, each filled with a stepped diamond and outlined in dark blackish-navy. A narrow strip of ivory diamond lattice runs between the rows, holding the two halves apart without breaking the symmetry. At the centre of every gul sits a small diamond touched with turquoise and mustard orange, repeated consistently across the field. A wide, deep-red border, filled with a serrated hooked motif, closes the design and takes up close to a fifth of the rug's width.
How it was made
The pile is handspun wool, hand-knotted onto a cotton warp at around 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre, with a pile depth of 6 mm. That is a modest density for a rug this precise, and the precision comes from the weaver rather than the knot count. Working from memory on a portable loom, she has kept every gul's outline sharp and every mirror exact, a discipline that took months at the loom. It is this control, more than density, that gives the piece its unusually ordered face for a tribal rug.
At home
At 187 x 102 cm this is a rug for a study, a hallway, or the floor beside a bed, rather than a large open room. The ivory ground lifts a corner with little daylight, while the reds hold their own against dark wood or leather furniture. The wool pile is dense and slightly firm underfoot, made for a rug that is walked over rather than kept for best. Sit with it through an afternoon and the small turquoise and mustard dots keep catching the light long after the red has settled into shadow.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 187 × 102 cm (1.91 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 1.91 m² that is roughly 240,000 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.
