Doe and Hope

Description

The inky field densely populated with geometrical motifs highlighted in moss green and filled with a chocolate brown center, encased by a three ruled border filled with rosettes and stylized flowers dyed in saffron.

Belouche is an ancient Persian design that originated from the work of the nomadic Belouche tribe. These wonderfully individual pieces are most often found in smaller sizes purely for ease of handling whilst wandering in the mountain regions. Belouche pieces are often directional or asymmetrical in design and are common-place prayer rugs. They are typically woven in dark shades of reds and browns with tan, blues and ivory.

Most Belouche rugs are woven in the hills of Afghanistan and imported from Pakistan. One of the most pleasing thing about a Belouche piece is that the imperfections in their execution are a pleasing change for many in the contemporary world.

A pretty rug with an overtly geometrical feel that would be able to sit in almost any setting.
