lovely hand-knotted Afghan Baluch wool rug featuring a rich madder red field with three traditional tribal guls framed by multiple geometric borders. The deep red, ivory, charcoal and ochre palette gives this small rug tremendous decorative impact despite its compact size. Hand-knotted construction and traditional tribal motifs make it an excellent decorative textile for wall display, bedside use, a reading nook, or layered into a maximalist interior.

This piece displays the compact proportions and bold geometry that have made Baluch rugs increasingly popular with collectors and interior designers. The saturated reds work particularly well within the ongoing castlecore, dark academia and layered vintage interiors trends. There is visible age-related wear and some reduction to the pile in places, consistent with a genuinely old hand-knotted rug, which can be seen in the photographs.
