Summary

Baluch Rugs : Baluch nomads are groups of different races who roam between Persia and Western Afghanistan. The Baluch weave wool rugs which are very durable, of high quality, with a dense and tight weave. Their warp is wool, and sometimes they also usegoat's wool. In modern rugs they also use cotton warp. They use dark red, blue, brown and black herbal colours. The designs are geometric and often represent in a variety of forms the tree of life, a symbolic scene used often in prayer rugs. The Baluch rugs that were dealt in the city of Iran, Mashad, are called Mashad-Baluch, while others sold in the city of Herat in Afghanistan, are known as Herat-Baluch.

Nomadic rugs: Rugs woven by nomads. Nomads move continuously and do not stay permanently in one geographic region. They manufacture (weave) handmade rugs on collapsible looms. Due to that fact there may be slight variations in weaving and their rugs are sometimes uneven in shape. Also the weaving is made from memory and it depends on each artisans momentary inspiration. As a result, the designs in some rugs are not even on the entire surface.

All CarpetU2 carpets are subject to cleaning with high quality antibacterial and moth protection products according to Persian law.

Flat woven at one or both ends of the rug's width: In some rugs the nomads weave at fringes on a narrow Kilim one or both sides of the width, or they weave them artistically into small braids. It is a technique various weavers use for a greater durability or simply to demonstrate their skill. Examples
