CC1566 Vintage Double Sided Tribal Afghan Baluch Carpet Cushion Cover 35x39cm (1.1½ x 1.3ft)

Tribal Afghan double sided Baluch carpet cushion cover - this authentic nomadic pillow cover has hand-knotted carpet pile on the front and reverse and is woven in 100% wool - we love the deep warm colours on both sides of this one together with the intricate kilim detail along the top.  It could be adapted to make a bag with a bit of creativity. This vintage rustic living room cushion measures approximately 35x39cm (1.1½ x 1.3ft) excluding any tassels. Perfect as an Afghan scatter or throw pillow for chairs and sofas. Find out more about Rug Motifs, Symbols & Meaning here.

These were originally handmade storage bags used during the Baluchi tribal migration throughout Afghanistan as well as for general storage purposes - they are semi antique with lots of character and are very hard wearing. Please note that as these cushions (in some cases), are old pieces they are very rustic, and occasionally have  repairs and small holes, so please don’t expect perfection! This tribal group from Afghanistan are also known as Beluch, Balouch, Belouch, Baluchi and Belouchi.

If you purchase this item unstuffed you will need to sew it up to close it as it is an original piece and the tribe’s people don't use zips! If you would like your cushion stuffed, please purchase the recommended sized filler by ticking the box next to the cushion to add the filler to your basket, we will then stuff and sew it up ready for you.
