Baluchi Seh Goleh Rug — Handwoven in Herat -R-E
$600.00
Product Description:
This Baluchi Seh Goleh rug is a true expression of Afghanistan’s rich tribal artistry, woven by skilled Baluch weavers originally from Farah, now settled in Herat. The name “Seh Goleh” (meaning “three medallions”) refers to the bold trio of geometric motifs at the heart of the design — a hallmark of traditional Baluchi rugs.
Hand-knotted over the course of three months, this rug was crafted entirely from 100% local sheep wool, giving it a soft, durable texture with natural insulation properties. The wool is dyed using 100% natural dyes, extracted from fruit-based sources — no chemicals, no shortcuts, just the earth’s palette.
Woven at a density of 40×40 knots per square inch, the craftsmanship is both meticulous and resilient — perfect for a space where culture and comfort meet.
