No. 608 - Vintage Baluch Tribal Rug Product No.: No. 608 Age: 1970s Origin: Herat / Afghanistan Material: Wool x Wool Size: 107cm x 187cm (excluding fringe) Thickness: 6mm This rug, with its cool color scheme of deep navy that appears almost black, with beige and red accents, is a tribal rug from the Baluch people residing in Herat province, Afghanistan. It is characterized by a softer texture compared to those from Iran. With a design of lamps and flower-like patterns, this rug has a cool overall appearance. Needless to say, I was thrilled when I saw it in person, and the long kilim ends are also a high point. As a vintage rug from 55 years ago, it doesn't show much wear and tear, and there are no noticeable stains or damage, making it in mint condition. The pile is a smooth, moderate length, and the size is suitable for a living room or bedside.

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