No. 706 - Vintage Baluch Prayer Rug Product Number: No. 706 Age: 1980s Origin: Herat, Afghanistan Material: Wool x Wool Size: 88cm x 145cm (excluding fringe) Thickness: 6mm With a vibrant cobalt blue color scheme rather than navy, and playful patterns scattered throughout, this rug is full of fun. It's a tribal rug from the Baluch people residing in Herat province, Afghanistan. Judging from the mosque design depicted at the top, it appears to be a prayer rug. This rug, which is quite large for a prayer rug, might be perfect as a main rug for a young person's living room, creating a pop-filled space. The pile itself is of a moderate length and fluffy, with a smooth texture that can be used year-round. As a vintage rug, it's 40 years old, but it doesn't show much wear. There are no noticeable stains, damage, or repair marks, making it in mint condition. It would be a perfect piece for those looking for a slightly unusual rug.

There may also be minor repairs that we are unaware of, so please understand. We purchase items from local sellers as having been cleaned, but please note that some sand and pile debris may remain. Also, there may be nail marks from drying after cleaning, but they will blend in with use, so please rest assured. Finally, regarding the rug itself, there is a unique wool smell. Measurements are taken near the center, but please understand that there may be errors due to the distortion inherent in hand-woven items, shrinkage from water cleaning, and color unevenness due to aging from plant dyeing. These are also part of the charm of vintage rugs.
