Lot #8: Vintage Afghan Baluchi Barjasta Rug Indigo Blue & Burgundy Mixed Pile Kilim Embossed

Vintage hand-woven Afghan Baluchi Barjasta rug. Woven by nomadic Baluch tribal artisans, this rare collectible piece showcase a magnificent mixed-weave technique. The geometric kilim bands at the ends are meticulously flat-woven, while the central field features raised, hand-knotted wool pile elements that give the design a striking, embossed architectural texture. The central field displays a powerful stepped diamond geometric medallion emerging from a deep indigo navy backdrop, beautifully accented with dark charcoal, warm clay tones, and stylized tribal rosettes. Handcrafted from durable, hand-spun wool on a rustic foundation, this textile is built to age gracefully. Its rich, dark colorways and unique tactile depth make it a perfect statement piece for a bedroom, cozy den, or study. • Weaving Technique: Like the very first rug you shared, this utilizes the rare Barjasta mixed-weave technique. The intricate patterned kilim panels at both ends are flat-woven, while the central design elements feature raised, hand-knotted wool pile accents providing a beautiful embossed texture. • Design & Pattern: Features a single, large stepped diamond medallion rendered in traditional deep moody tones—midnight indigo blue, charcoal grey, deep burgundy red, and warm ochre brown—peppered with geometric protective rosettes. • Condition: excellent condition, recently cleaned by Persian rug cleaning company.
