Handmade Vintage Baluch Runner 1960s 310 x 129cm (10.2′ x 4.2′)

This vintage Baluch runner is a refined example of tribal weaving, offering depth, character, and quiet confidence. Woven in the 1960s, it reflects a long-standing tradition of practical beauty, created for daily life yet rich in visual presence. The deep red field is filled with repeating all-over motifs commonly known as the elephant foot design. These forms are carefully balanced and rhythmically placed, giving the runner a strong sense of movement without feeling busy. Subtle blue accents provide contrast and soften the overall composition. A crisp geometric border frames the central field, adding structure and enhancing the rug’s natural symmetry. The wool is soft yet resilient, dyed with natural pigments that have mellowed gracefully over time, resulting in a warm and grounded colour palette. Well suited to wide corridors or narrow living spaces, this runner brings both durability and understated elegance. It works equally well in traditional interiors and more contemporary settings, where its authenticity and calm presence can be fully appreciated.
