Expert Opinion

“For me, Baluch rugs are the embodiment of nomadic authenticity and creative freedom. Their imaginative motifs and deep, warm colours turn them into true works of art—far removed from factory-made goods and enriched by centuries of knowledge. Every Baluch rug carries an authentic story and a tangible sense of character.”
Daniel Khademi
Rug expert, curator and COO at JUPITER Intl

What Are Nomadic Rugs?

Nomadic rugs are created by migratory or traditionally semi-nomadic tribes such as the Turkaman, Lori, Qashqai or Bakhtiar. Their designs are steeped in tradition, religious and nature-inspired symbols, and reflect the lifestyle of their makers. The techniques are often original and rustic, with unique patterns and formats. Many Baluch rugs combine elements of both traditions, as many weavers come from formerly nomadic families.

Origin, Weaving & Special Features of Baluch Rugs

  • Origin: Originating in the border regions of eastern Iran, western Afghanistan, and parts of Pakistan—woven by Baluch and related tribes with deep heritage.
  • Materials: Premium sheep’s wool pile, most often on cotton or wool warp; natural plant dyes give these rugs their signature colour palettes.
  • Knotting: Hand-knotted with a symmetrical knot; typically 100,000–200,000 knots/m² for a balance of detail and resilience.
  • Patterns: Geometric motifs, Göl ornaments, tribal border symbolism, and stylised flora and fauna are all typical.
  • Applications: As a living room showpiece, hallway runner, or as a meditation or prayer mat—these rugs offer incredible versatility.

Iranian Rugs – Diversity, Depth & Culture

The world of Iranian rug weaving is globally renowned for its quality and creativity. From magnificent Persian rugs from Isfahan, Nain, Tabriz and Qom to the charismatic beauties of Bakhtiar rugs, Iran brings unparalleled variety of design, materials, and regional traditions. Iranian rugs are a symbol of centuries-old artistry, cultural identity, and lasting comfort.

Afghan Rugs – Primal Strength and Tradition

Afghan rugs are world-famous for their vibrant colours, resilient highland wool, and often striking, geometric patterns. Heritage-rich designs like those seen in Khal Mohammadi, Kazak, Ziegler or Arijana reflect history, pride in craft, and everyday culture. Each rug is a true original, with its unique journey woven into every knot.

Colours, Patterns & Style

Baluch rugs impress with their elegant, usually earth-inspired natural tones—a harmonious interplay of reds, browns, ochres, midnight blues, and occasional accents of ivory or green. Typical are geometric fields, medallions, prayer niches, and symbolic motifs, often paired with playful borders and inventive design language.
