Antique Baluch Afghanistan Blue 1875 Rug, Circa Date: 1875. This exceptional example of baluch rugs captures the profound artistry of nomadic weaving traditions from the late 19th century. Its deeply saturated palette, featuring earthy browns and terracotta, combined with its resilient wool construction, confirms its status among highly desirable antique rugs. The field presents a highly complex, dense arrangement of stylized geometric forms, utilizing an allover rugs layout that minimizes negative space and draws the eye across the surface.
