Iran carpet museum spotlights Baluchi rugs

The Carpet Museum of Iran has put on exhibit a total of 28 handwoven Baluchi products crafted by southeastern Iranian inhabitants.

The exhibit, which also embraces kilims and rugs along with a variety of indigenous spreads and saddlebags, is on display in the Iranian capital city of Tehran and will run through March 5.

Baluchi rugs are unique in several ways, usually made of all wool and may also include goat and camel hair. For white color, cotton in implemented in the weaving process, and in some cases a few knots of silk. The knotting is customarily asymmetrical.

Patterns of such carpets are highly varied as well as highly sought after by collectors. The carpets consist of repeated motifs, diagonally arranged across the field, while some present a maze of intricate latch-hooked forms.

Covering an area of 3,400 square meters, the Carpet Museum of Iran is located on the northwest edge of Laleh Park in the heart of Tehran.
