Persian Balochi Rug. Small label on back with "1075" inscribed. Balochi rugs (also called Baluch or Baluchi) are a group of carpets woven by the Baloch tribes in Nimroz province, Sistan and Baluchistan province, and Khorasan province (Khorasani Baloch) in the northeast and southeast of Iran. Balochi rugs are typically lighter and easier to transport than most other Persian rugs, and they are often recognizable for having asymmetrical patterns that differentiate them from most Persian designs. Nature, animal figurines, religious beliefs, and objects of interest and use by the people of the tribe are visualized in these designs. However, similar to other rugs made in Iran and Afghanistan, they are mostly designed geometrically with lines and surfaces, creating abstract and non-abstract patterns. The Mehrabi is a particularly popular Balochi prayer rug that typically features a mihrab or arch at one end of the rug.

A Persian carpet, or Persian rug, is a heavy textile made for a wide variety of utilitarian and symbolic purposes and produced in Iran (historically known as Persia), for home use, local sale, and export. Carpet weaving is an essential part of Persian culture and Iranian art. Within the group of Oriental rugs produced by the countries of the so-called “Rug Belt,” that stretches across three continents, the Persian carpet stands out particularly due to the variety and elaborateness of its manifold designs, remaining one of the most popular styles of rug in history. Persian rugs today are woven by nomadic tribes, town workshops, and by large manufacturers. The carpets woven in the Safavid court manufactories of Isfahan during the 16th Century are famous for their elaborate colors and artistic design, and are treasured in museums and private collections all over the world today, as well as serving as the primary template for modern patterns. Carpets woven in towns and regional centers like Tabriz, Kerman, Ravar, Neyshabour, Mashhad, Kashan, Nain and Qom are characterized by their specific weaving techniques and use of high-quality materials, with Tabriz in particular playing an important historical role in reviving the weaving tradition after several periods of decline due to political unrest and changing commercial interests. Although it is impossible to pinpoint the origin of rugmaking, due to the extremely limited lifespan of most substances involved in making them throughout human history, it is safe to say that Persian rugs remain the standard in quality and design against which all other carpets are judged.
