No.592-Vintage Maldari Baluch rug Item Number: No.592 Era: 1970s Origin: Herat/Afghanistan Material: Wool x Wool Size: 107-111cm x 222cm (excluding fringe) Thickness: 7mm This is a tribal rug from the Maldari Baluch tribe, who lead a semi-nomadic life in the Herat province of Afghanistan. It's a large size, perfect for a living room, featuring a stunning transition from a deep red field with a medallion to beige and colorful borders. Although it may seem varied at first glance, the overall color scheme is masterfully balanced. The rug has a firm, sturdy texture, woven more tightly than typical Maldari rugs. The pile is relatively long, giving it a smooth feel that makes you want to lie down on it in your living room. As a vintage rug with 55 years of age, it shows signs of use, but it is in good condition with no particularly noticeable stains, damage, or repairs. There is a slight distortion of about 4cm in width, but please understand this is a natural variation inherent in hand-woven items. For an overall impression, please refer to the last video (shot in natural light indoors) on Instagram at the URL below. https://www.instagram.com/p/DP8gZheEknT/?img_index=14&igsh=MWp1dW9xMHcxN2x6aA== ◎About Our Products Some items may have undergone professional repairs in Iran or at the source, while others have not been repaired to preserve their aesthetic appearance if there are no significant issues. Minor repairs that we may not have noticed are also possible, so please understand. We source these rugs from local sellers after they have been cleaned. However, please be aware that some sand may remain, and there might be shedding of pile fibers. Occasionally, you may find nail marks from the drying process after cleaning, but these will naturally blend in with use, so please do not worry. Finally, the rug itself has a characteristic wool scent. Measurements are taken near the center, but please understand that variations in size may occur due to the inherent distortions of hand-weaving, shrinkage from washing, and color variations due to the natural aging of plant-based dyes. We believe these are all part of the charm of vintage rugs.
