Vintage Mid-Century Baluch Geometric Brown and Pink Wool Rug 10368

Hand knotted in (inventory says Persia, this says Afghanistan) originating between 1950-1960, this vintage mid-century Persian rug enjoys both an astutely preserved quality wool and one of the most uniquely intricate plays of geometry through color among this collection. The meticulous geometric diamond pattern created through the defined play of pink and blue in the field juxtaposes the profoundly gentle meandering patterns within, a soft and meticulous complement to the rich and sheen brown background transitioning gracefully the various intricate borders. Those same borders, sporting varied symbolism such as the notable ram’s horn (widely believed to symbolize strength and protection), create a dimensionality through their reserved finesse, creating movement and highlighting the many qualities worth celebrating in such an outstanding, fabulous transitional rug.
