This Afghan Baluchi displays a captivating geometric composition across its field, featuring a rich tapestry of deep reds, navy blues, and warm ivory tones. Traditional diamond medallions march in orderly rows against the burgundy ground, each outlined with precise borders in contrasting colors. The intricate corner work showcases smaller geometric motifs that echo the central pattern, creating a harmonious balance throughout the piece. The overall effect is both bold and sophisticated, with colors that have the depth and character of natural dyes.

Woven by skilled Afghan artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this Baluchi represents the nomadic weaving traditions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The foundation is built entirely from hand-spun wool, likely sourced from the prized Ghazni province known for its durable, lustrous fiber. Each knot has been tied by hand using traditional methods that ensure both structural integrity and the distinctive texture that makes these rugs so enduring. This careful construction means the rug will maintain its beauty for decades with proper care.

At 5' 10" x 7' 9", this piece works beautifully as a focal point in living rooms, dining areas, or master bedrooms. The size accommodates most furniture arrangements while allowing the geometric patterns to be fully appreciated. These Baluchi rugs complement both traditional and contemporary interiors, particularly those seeking authentic handwoven character. Consider pairing with other 5 x 8 rugs in different rooms for a cohesive look. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
