Belutsch

This one-of-a-kind piece in dusky pink and dark blue unites traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. A knot density of approx. 300,000 knots per m² makes the elaborate workmanship visible – right down to the fine execution of the details. At 184 × 108 cm it is well placed as a runner for hallway and entrance hall. It also cuts a fine figure beside the bed. The harmonious colouring and the characteristic texture lend any room an exclusive, homely atmosphere. A rug of this quality is far more than a furnishing item – it is a piece of traditional textile art with individual character and lasting value.

Origin

Belutsch is a rug provenance in the region between Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. Belutsch rugs (also Belutsch, Beloutch, Beluch, Baluch, Belutch, Balouch, Baloutche or Balúchi) are made by semi-nomads and nomads. Originally, Belutsch rugs were knotted exclusively by the Baluch nomads. Today, however, a number of other tribes knot Belutsch rugs as well. The patterns tend to be geometric and the palette is kept in shades of red and brown. Mostly small rugs and mats are produced, as these are also used by the nomads themselves and are easier to transport.

Material

The technique used to produce the materials for the pile of this Belutsch is over 200 years old. The wool was dyed with natural dyes and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based dyes is more complicated, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale, you even need two kilograms of the dyestuff weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is labour-intensive and time-consuming too. On top of that, fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.

But the effort is worth it: dyeing with natural colours allows the high-quality wool to keep its natural oil content. Wool that has been dyed with natural colours and spun by hand creates fascinating, shimmering patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool, with its slight irregularities and natural shades, comes into its own as a contrast in modern interiors, but equally in rooms furnished in a more traditional or country style.

The foundation (weft and warp threads) of this Belutsch is made of new wool.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Belutsch. It has had owners before you who valued it and lived with it. It was knotted around 1980. It has been cleaned thoroughly and is in good but only partly restored condition. The fringes could do with a repair. The pile has thinned evenly. We have not fully restored this Belutsch, because we feel it has a special presence exactly as it is. If you would prefer otherwise, we will of course gladly carry the restoration further for you. We can bring almost any rug back to near-perfect condition.
