Hand knotted in wool originating circa 1950-1950, this 4x9 mid-century rug is a vintage Persian rug hailing from the Baluch rug weavers of renown, with this particular item employing an notably rich, dark brown colorway reading almost black against the particularly luminous red colorway creating this medallion pattern. Designers will note the juxtaposition of the lighter beige-brown central border and the almost superimposed tribal motifs there, the play of which offers depth and dimensionality to the deeper hues and the appealing symmetry of the five sequential tribal medallion patterns—depicted with a rare precision contributing the collectability of this specific Baluch rug among its kind. Further connoisseurs will note the playful vertical borders, offering mutes hues of teal and gold among the prevailing colorways lending a departure from the otherwise soothing repetition of the style. The transitional nature, tribal attitude, good condition, and versatile size of this spacious rug lends an ideal selection for classic living room rug projects, discerning hallway rug projects, and spaces with complementary furniture in earth tones and transitional moods; a marriage of luminous color and uncommonly sharp tribal pattern with subtle variations in the prevailing colors complementing the movement.
