This deeply atmospheric Timuri Baluch rug, woven in the 19th century in the borderlands of western Afghanistan, embodies the brooding beauty for which Timuri weavings are so highly regarded. The field is filled with a repeating Herati-like pattern rendered in rich tones of cochineal red and midnight blue, punctuated with ivory details that shimmer against the darker ground. The classic “snowflake” border is distinctively Timuri, encasing the composition in graphic rhythm.

Timuri rugs of this scale were typically woven by nomadic groups for personal use, and their restrained palettes, fine wool, and balanced geometry give them a timeless sophistication. This piece shows scattered areas of wear and some loss to the ends, but retains its integrity and is structurally sound.

From the private collection of a respected antique rug dealer in Amherst, MA, this rug will appeal to collectors seeking authentic tribal weavings with tonal depth and quiet power—perfect for layering in refined interiors or displaying as textile art.
