About This Belutsch
Where it comes from
This is a Baluch, also written Belouch, a tribal weaving from the borderlands of southeastern Iran, measuring 198 x 96 cm (6'6" x 3'2"). Baluch rugs are known for bold, angular geometry and a palette of deep red and indigo, most often arranged around a prayer-niche field. This piece takes a different turn, built instead around a single medallion.
What you see
The first thing you see is a pale camel-coloured square set deep into a ground of dense, dark stripes in brick red and near-black. Inside that square panel sits a stepped diamond, and around it stand four birds, drawn plainly and placed with exact symmetry, facing the centre. The camel field holds them clear of the surrounding darkness. Beyond it run wide striped and geometric guard borders, red against near-black, layered thickly enough to take up nearly a third of the rug's width on each side.
How it was made
Every knot was tied by hand from memory, without a drawn plan, on wool spun by hand rather than machine. That hand-spun yarn keeps a slight unevenness along its length, giving the stripes a firm but never mechanical edge, and the birds their soft, hand-drawn outline. At 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre, the weave holds the geometry crisp without dulling the wool's natural sheen. A pile clipped to 6 millimetres keeps the surface flat, so that gloss carries evenly across the whole field.
At home
At under a metre wide, this rug suits a hallway, a landing, or the floor beside a bed. The camel field warms a pale floor and holds its own against dark furniture, while the near-black borders ground it even where daylight is scarce. Dense, springy wool underfoot takes daily use easily. In low light, the four birds seem to step forward from their darker frame.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 198 × 96 cm (1.90 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 1.90 m² that is roughly 240,000 to 300,000 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.
