Baluchi rugs are mainly woven by Baluchi tribal weavers in southwest of Pakistan, northeast of Iran and northwest of Afghanistan. Baluchi rugs are mainly geometric. The Blauchi tree-of-life prayer rug is the most well known of all Baluchi designs. Other designs include repeating all-overs with floral motifs or repeating all-overs with abstract living creatures such as animals (birds are common) and humans. The main colors used in Baluchi rugs are red, dark blue, camel, beige and white. A common border design is a zigzag design also seen in Turkoman and Anatolian borders. Baluchi rugs are generally made in small sizes.Even though Baluchi rugs are sometimes sold under the name of the specific tribe which has woven them such as the Mushwani, Nishapur, Dokhtar-e-Ghazi, Koudani and Haft Bolah and the village of Chichaksu, often times Baluchi rugs are marketed by the names of Mashad or Herat Baluchi. Herat Baluchi rugs are made in Afghanistan and are mainly prayer rugs. The Mashad Baluchi rugs are made in Iran and are generally all-over repeats.The famous tree-of-life prayer rug has several minor borders and guard strips. The mihrab is in a camel color, usually undyed camel hair, which looks like a very geometric narrow and long human trunk with a square head. Above the mihrab arch, on the field, t are two square corners very similar to the design and the color of the interior of the mihrab itself. The design inside the mihrab includes a tree with several branches with maple leaves. Each leaf is divided into four quarters. The quarters across from each other are the same color; two are blue and two are red. Inside the head (top of the tree) the leaves become more similar to the Turkoman gul. The borders are generally in red, navy and very little white with small geometric shapes that look similar to hooks or the Turkoman gul.In the all-over layout with repeating floral motifs, a common design consists of rows of red square flowers with smaller white flowers in between the rows. The background is generally dark blue and the flowers are usually inside a lattice of some form, sometimes a diamond shape. The main borders are generally red. The minor borders have the zigzag design in white. These designs are often called Mina-khani. c1920s RARE Antique VILLAGE WOVEN PERSIAN BALOUCHI Rug with an exact size of 3.7x8 ft Wool woven on cotton foundation over a Salmon background with decoritive medallions through out the center surounded by a gorgeous DRAGON BORDER...Colors in this beauty include Blues,Salmon,Ivory,Brown,Rust Etc...Condition is low even pile some oxidition of Browns as shown in pictures.....What a beauty...100% Persian Blouchi rug and Not a lesser quality junk sold and advertised as Persian....BID with absolute confidence...Very Rare collectable COLLECTORS DREAM OFFERED @ NO RESERVE WE OFFER GOOD QUALITY PADDING @ $2 A FOOT FOR OUR EBAY CUSTOMERS...PICTURED BELOW we do not set a reserve price on our rugs and allow the market to set value.shipping and handeling (packageing,employee's,delivery to courier Etc..) on this item is $38 in U.S. except for hawaii and alaska,be sure to view our other items on ebay because we do combine shipping for total of 20% discount on total combined shipping...Insurance is free only up to ... read more
