1960s Authentic Vintage Antique Baluchi Hand-Knotted Wool - 6'9'' x 11'0''

The deep madder red field is split into two large panels, each filled with rows of diamond medallions in red and navy, framed by several layers of finely drawn tribal borders. The two-panel layout gives this large rug a calm, orderly look. It is a 7x11 vintage Afghan Baluch rug in red and navy.

This vintage Afghan Baluch rug was hand knotted around 1960 by Baluch weavers in western Afghanistan. Its diamond medallions are a motif that symbolizes protection, harmony and continuity in nomadic weaving. It is knotted with a hand-spun wool pile on a traditional ground loom and colored with natural dyes, which gives it the durability and texture that define mid-century Baluch craftsmanship. A Baluch rug in this large size is a rarer find. Room-size Baluch rugs are much less common than the small rugs and prayer rugs these weavers usually made, which makes this one a notable piece.

At 7x11, it can anchor a living room, a dining room, a creative studio or a large bedroom. The deep red and midnight navy palette brings warmth to traditional and rustic rooms and adds a strong, grounding note to a modern space.
