Antique Baluch Rug 163x95cm

This decorative antique Baluch rug from Northeast Iran is a striking and unusual example of tribal weaving, distinguished by its rare colour palette and distinctive motifs.

The light green background—an exceptionally uncommon tone for Baluch weavings—is adorned with an all-over lozenge pattern, offering rhythm and depth while maintaining a structured tribal aesthetic. At either end of the field are four niche-like forms, adding a touch of architectural symmetry and symbolic interest.

Framing the field is a bold blue inner border, which gives the design clarity and contrast, followed by an outer terracotta guard border decorated with stylised peacocks—a motif rarely found in Baluch rugs and believed to symbolise protection and beauty.

Adding even more personality to this already rare composition are small accents of purple wool—a quirky, almost playful detail that defies the typical Baluch palette and brings a sense of uniqueness to the piece.

The combination of these elements—light green field, peacock motifs, purple accents, and overall balanced geometry—makes this rug a conversation starter and a highly decorative option for collectors or designers seeking something outside the norm.
