The Balouchis live on the border district between persia and Afghanistan. Balouchi is a generic term for nomads consisting of smaller tribes of varied origins. Their livelihood consists of agriculture, raising sheep, goats, and camels together with carpet manufacturing. The Balouch carpets have a close relationship with carpets from Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. The colors are often dull and dark red, dark blue, black, and brown. The patterns are geometrical with curvilinear life trees. They are often designed as prayer carpets with a prayer niche. Sometimes, the carpets have decorative kelims on the short sides to protect the carpet against wear. The long sides often consist of many cables, made with goat and horsehair. The warp is made of wool or a mixture of wool and goat hair and newer carpets have a warp made of cotton. The workmanship is of high quality; these carpets are tight and thin and give a real feeling of genuine nomadic handicraft. The carpets are mostly made in small sizes with lively patterns and prayer carpets are common..

Eloquent, undulating waves of silk on a field of our finest wool, Barbara Barry's Arching Lattice rug was hand-knotted in Nepal using our premium Shakti weave. The field color is a light rust orange overlaid by golden honey silk accents and coordinating thin border, a rug to bring opulence to any space.

The color of this rug was more a brown than orange. I wanted orange. I almost returned it but found another place in the house to put it. I was very disappointed for the price I paid.. Deborah. Grants Pass, OR. Tue Jan 31 2023

Hand knotted in a village around Hamadan, western persia. Hamadan rugs can originate from any one of hundreds of villages across the vast region. While materials used can vary from one village to another, one uniting characteristic of this area is that virtually all Hamadan rugs are single-wefted, unlike most tribal rugs which are double-wefted. This particular Persian antique rug is in excellent condition and has superb quality wool that must be felt to be fully realized. As far as Hamadans go, this piece is outstanding.

Textured linen lines carve their way through thickly blended wool and hemp in a less than half-inch pile with a series of hidden passageways, a modern design that will transcend time.

Our hand-made Brushstroke rug comes alive on a canvas of hand-tufted pure wool and is enlivened by a melange of muted colors and a painterly design.

Rug was just as pictured and is a perfect complement to the colors in our Amish Tumbling Block quilt.. Steve. Pompano Beach, FL. Mon May 18 2026
