Rugs of the Baluch and their neighbors

 

Baluch Rugs are very popular with collectors. They are plentiful and not as expensive as some other types of rugs. They can be so dark as to appear black at first glance and so light as to be mostly white.


Baluch Rugs are really a type of rug rather than the output of one single ethno-linguistic group. Over a series of pages I will deal with Baluch and the various sub-types. baluch is a language so people whose primary language is Baluch are Baluchi. But the Baluch are also a political entity under Iranian law so the Government also defines who are the Baluch. Then there are the people who are always or even sometimes counted as Baluch. This group includes but not limited to: Barbari, Berberi, Chahar-Aimaq, Char Aimaq, Taimuri (Teimuri, Timuri, Taimouri), Teimurtash, Taimani, Zohri (Zuri), Jamshidi (Jamshedi, Djamchidi, Yemchidi, Dzhemshid), Firozkohi, Maliki, Mizmast, Chinghizi, Zainal, Baluchi, Baluci, Baloci, Makrani, Coastal Balochi, Kechi, Makrani (Lotuni), Rakhshani (Raxshani), Sarawani, Brahuidi, Birahui, Brahuigi, Kur Galli, Jharawan, Kalat, Sarawan.

About JBOC

I have enjoyed the study of Oriental Rugs for years. I am not really in the rug business but it relaxes me to study and write about rugs. For years I was a consultant to business and Government in the Washington DC area. Now I work in Advertising. I have even dabbled in politics over the last 34 years. I have worked for a wide range of candidate from Ronald Reagan to John Kerry and frankly the Kerry gig paid better. I travel to Iran periodically but more about that later.
