Balochi Tree Runner

Balochi rugs are woven by Baluch tribal groups across western Afghanistan and eastern Iran, known for their elongated formats, deep jewel-toned palettes, and intricate tribal symbolism. This vintage example features a rich aubergine and burgundy field filled with repeating tree-like motifs arranged in vertical columns, a pattern associated with growth, life, and spiritual protection in Baluch weaving traditions. The palette blends deep red, rust, and dark brown with subtle ivory highlights, creating strong contrast and visual depth. Angular chevron fillers and geometric tribal borders frame the composition, reinforcing the rhythmic structure typical of Balochi rugs and giving the piece a bold nomadic character.
