No.524-Vintage Baluch Tribal rug Item Number: No.524 Era: 1980s Origin: Herat/Afghanistan Material: Wool x Wool Size: 118cm x 220cm (excluding fringe) Thickness: 7mm This rug, with its lustrous navy base and fine repeating patterns in red, is a tribal rug from the Baluch tribe residing in the Herat province of Afghanistan. The intricate weaving patterns and overall balance make it a quintessential tribal carpet. While the photos may show some color fading due to light and angle, the actual colors are vivid. The Kilim ends, which are unusual for a rug of this size, add a special touch. It's a living room size, perfect for in front of a three-seater sofa, and the moderately long pile feels smooth and gentle underfoot. As a 40-year-old vintage rug, it shows signs of use, but it is in good condition with no particularly noticeable stains, damage, or repairs. The vintage sheen is irresistible, making it a noble piece.

Please understand that there may be minor repairs that we have not noticed. Although sourced from local sellers in clean condition, please be aware that some sand or pile debris may remain, as it is difficult to remove completely. Occasionally, there may be nail marks from drying after cleaning, but these will blend in with use, so please do not worry. Finally, the rug itself has a characteristic wool scent. Measurements are taken near the center, but please understand that there may be errors due to the irregularities of hand-weaving, shrinkage from washing, and color variations due to the natural dyeing process and aging, all of which are part of the charm of vintage rugs.
