This 1950s semi-antique Baluch rug from the Kohistan region exudes a true tribal feel that’s hard to capture in photographs. With a soft texture and incredibly plush wool, it offers both beauty and comfort.
The design of this carpet features a grid pattern as the central motif, with stunning transitions of color. The rug is woven with natural undyed wool in shades of grey, ivory, beige, and brown, combined with dyed wool in soft tones of blue and salmon. The outer border showcases the “s” protective motif, adding to its cultural significance.
The pile ranges from high to medium, with a few areas where the pile is lower, adding to the rug’s unique character.
