Experience the Timeless Elegance of a Belouch Turkoman Rug
Step into a world of craftsmanship and tradition with a remarkable antique Belouch turkoman rug measuring 3'11" x 7'5", dating back to the early 1900s. Adorned with captivating all-over geometric floral motifs named Minakhani, this exquisite piece boasts the quintessential Belouch colors of terracotta red, rich brown, and soothing blue. A testament to its historical charm, the rug features a large abrash, gracefully indicating the subtle shifts in color throughout its surface.

The Belouch rug in question exemplifies the Baluchi people's dedication to weaving excellence. Its wool, boasting a lustrous quality, stands as a testament to their unparalleled craftsmanship. The Mina Khani design, showcased in this particular rug, is a visual symphony that reflects the Baluchi's artistic prowess. The intricate weave not only underscores their mastery but also highlights the enduring legacy of the Baluchi as formidable weavers.
In bringing this Belouch turkoman rug into your space, you not only acquire a tangible piece of history but also invite the spirit of a nomadic tribe and their centuries-old weaving tradition.
