RARE ANTIQUE NOMAD BALUCH TRIBAL PILE RUG
KHORASAN North East IRAN AFGHAN BORDER
1890 to 1910
AUTHENTIC 100 year old BALUCH RUG
This Authentic Rare Antique Baluch Pile Rug, Obviously Created over the period 1890 to 1910, Has A Great Range of Vegetable Dyes with a Ground of Black Vegetable Dyed Wool Showing Oxidation and Some Very Dark Brown Vegetable Dyed Design also Corroded. It is an Excellent Example of a Nomadic Tribal Baluch Rug from the North Afghan Iran Border Regions Showing an Archaic Design Layout of Turkoman Inspired Large Guls.
It is 2m x 1.05m (6ft 7 inches x 3ft 5 inches) and in Very Good Condition for Its Age with the Corrosion as mentioned and Some minor signs of its Advanced Age and Even Has its Original Four Strand Goat Hair Selvedges. Interestingly the Hand Spun Wool Pile is Symmetrically Hand Knotted to Hand Spun Wool Warps and Wefts and, as Seen in the Photos it is not Symmetrical in Size as Expected from a Genuine Antique Tribal Rug Created in a Nomadic Environment.
This is a Rare Antique Tribal Baluch Rug for Collectors or Dealers so There is Little Else to Say about it, The Rug Speaks for Itself.
It Offers a Unique Tangible Investment Opportunity to Discriminating
Decorators and Collectors in these uneasy Times of the Paper Based
Financial Market.
All our Rugs Are Old and Antique not the usual Ebay Miss Described Modern Copies. Many are Over 100 years Old, so they show the signs of this age as rugs are made to walk on. We can not describe every mark of use. We provide a picture of the entire rug and it is up to you to assess its condition from our pictures. Do not bid unless you are happy with what you see and expect every rug to show signs of its Age. All are sold as is. Contact us for more pictures or details if required.
If you want a rug in perfect condition buy a new copy from one of the Persian Rug dealers and do not bother even looking at ours.
A NOTE ON PHOTOS
We try to take photos which reproduce the colours of the rug as close as possible. As is obvious none are taken in a studio. We have tried to provide a few different tones and extremes and the actual colours are somewhere in between.
