Vintage Mid-Century Baluch Geometric Brown and Red Wool Persian Rug 10385

Made with hand-knotted wool pile originating between 1950-1960, this vintage mid-century Baluch Persian rug employs the subtle juxtaposition of gentle and defined color and pattern in a skillful fashion only the most celebrated finds of the period enjoy. The play of crisp white against the more traditional brown, orange and rich red hues gracefully emphasizes the embroidered linework on opposite lengths of the field as well as creating a visual movement leading to an appreciation of the aforementioned subtlety the richer field hues enjoy in their geometry. The reserved-meets-radiant gridwork of orange plays an almost trick of the eye in muted contrast to the more arresting beige-brown elibelinde and star motifs, offering a rare artisan warmth complementary to the inviting texture.
