No. 632 - Vintage Baluch Prayer Rug Product Number: No. 632 Age: 1970s Origin: Herat, Afghanistan Material: Wool x Wool Size: 79cm x 132cm (excluding fringe) Thickness: 5mm This rug, with its cool color scheme of faded red as the base, accented by black, gray, and burgundy, is a tribal rug from the Baluch people residing in Herat province, Afghanistan. It is a prayer rug used during prayer. This prayer rug is woven thinly for easy portability, but it features Baluch-style patterns and an eight-pointed star border, and the white lines that stand out are a high point. In terms of size, it can be used as an accent rug that doesn't require a specific place to be laid. As a 50-year-old vintage rug, it has a certain amount of wear and tear, but the faded look is also cool. It's in good condition, with no noticeable stains or damage, and no repairs are visible. The pile itself is short and has a smooth texture.

There may also be minor repairs that we don't notice, so please understand. We purchase items from local sellers that have been cleaned, but please note that sand and pile debris may come out. Also, there may be nail marks from drying after cleaning, but they will blend in with use, so please rest assured. * Severe items are cleaned domestically during inspection, but if necessary, it is described and reflected in the price. Finally, regarding the rug itself, there is a smell unique to wool. Measurements are taken in the center, but there may be errors due to distortions unique to hand-woven rugs, shrinkage due to water washing and cleaning, and color unevenness due to aging from plant dyeing, but please understand that this is also the charm of vintage rugs.
