Baluch Kilim, Persia, 19th century, 3'10" x 9'9", $700 |
 |
| Baluch flatweaves are some of the most compelling examples of flatweave work that are still emerging from Central Asia. The wealth of ornamentation seen in the narrow bands that separate the wider bands of zig zag patterning is quite compelling as is the palette. Such colors are rarely seen including a lovely aubergine hue that would be a delight on its own. But used in conjunction with these reds, orange red, blue, and blue/greens, it is truly a palette reflecting all the colors these people DO NOT live with in the barren environs in which they live. Complete and in relatively good condition, such pieces were used as floor coverings in the traditional reed huts that has been associated with the Baluch people of that region. |

COLORS -- All natural dyes
CONDITION -- Good, with no holes, no stains, no repair, selvedges are a bit damaged with some selvedge cords hanging loose, minor signs of wear in places with slight exposure of ivor wool warps. This is an antique textile therefore it cannot be expected that it will be in "new condition". The terms used for describing condition are consistent with common usage in the marketplaces all over the world. Obvious flaws including repair, holes and stains WILL BE noted in all descriptions.

| SHIPPING POLICY -- TribalSource
will gladly pay any shipping costs for rugs and textiles that
are sold to clients within the US. International buyers will
pay for shipping costs. In the event of return of an item, the
client is responsible for shipping costs both ways. Shipping
will be done by the least expensive method possible, usually
the US Postal Service offers the most expedient service for the
price with PRIORITY MAIL available for domestic shipments, airmail
parcel post for international shipping. Insurance is recommended
but the responsibility of both US and international buyers. As
is my policy with both eBay and www.cocoontr.com, full payment
should be made prior to shipping. Known clients of mine with
a favorable history can expect same day shipping when payment
is received, with no waiting period involved. |

RETURN POLICY -- Any rug will be gladly
taken back (shipping costs for BOTH ways the responsibility of
the client) with full refund of cost price (less shipping costs)
up to 7 days after the rug was received. Naturally, it must arrive
back in the same condition as it was sent. I realize that buying
from photos can be risky but TribalSource on eBay has never had
a problem with representational photographs or with accurate
condition reports, etc.
You can place your trust in TribalSource;
please do refer to my feedback forum on eBay. I have been in
business for some years now and have maintained a reputation
at international trade shows and in the pages of HALI which transcends
my presence on the internet. Responsibility and accountability
over the long term to my clientele is of utmost importance, and
I strive to maintain my commitments to the people with whom I
have an exchange. I value personal interaction and try to establish
a sensitive, responsive relationship with each of my clients.
