Antique Square Baluch Persian Multicolor 1940s Rug, Circa Date: 1940s. This extraordinary square textile fragment, likely a decorative saddlebag face, represents the finest nomadic weaving traditions. The piece immediately captures attention with its rich, dark palette, characteristic of the baluch rugs woven by tribes migrating across the Persian-Afghan borderlands. The depth of color is achieved through natural dyes, presenting a complex field of deep chocolate, rust orange, and muted indigo. While technically a small square textile, its visual impact rivals that of larger pieces, making it a compelling addition to any collection of antique rugs. The inclusion of white beads and voluminous tassels along the edges speaks to its original utilitarian and ceremonial function.
