Description
Baluch Prayer rug, 3x4 (3'3" x 4'6"), hand-knotted wool in navy, black, ivory, rust & tan. Rows of small boteh-like tribal motifs inside an ivory-dotted stepped prayer niche on a navy field, with navy geometric borders and an ivory-patterned kilim end. We are happy to send natural daylight photos or a short video on request.
Ships January 1–30, 2027. This rug is on its way from our direct import. Order now to reserve it.
Where it fits: Accent size: an entryway, beside a bed, in front of a sink or a fireplace. This page offers a Durahold Plus felt-and-rubber pad cut to this rug's size.
Care | Try at home | Free shipping: Vacuum without the beater bar and turn it end to end once or twice a year so it wears evenly. When it needs washing, have it cleaned by a professional rug cleaner, never with a carpet shampooer. One of a kind. Take it home on approval from our Evanston or Chicago showroom, or order it with free U.S. shipping and 30-day returns.
- Vacuum weekly with the beater bar off, and rotate the rug once a year so it wears and fades evenly.
- Spills: blot right away with a clean, damp cloth; never rub. Hand-knotted wool resists stains well.
- Deep clean every 3 to 5 years by a professional who hand washes handmade rugs. We hand wash and repair rugs in Evanston and Chicago.
- Use a rug pad cut to the rug’s exact size, like our Durahold Plus. It stops slipping and protects the knots and your floor.
Pre-order: delivery January 1–30, 2027
This rug is on its way to us from Afghanistan. Order now to reserve it. It ships free anywhere in the contiguous United States, with estimated delivery between January 1 and January 30, 2027, and tracking by email. Every rug is one of a kind, so once it is reserved it is off the market.
30-day returns
Not right in your room? Return it within 30 days of delivery, in the condition it arrived, or bring it to either showroom. A restocking fee of up to 15% may apply to change-of-mind returns; details are in the return policy.
Price match
Prices are marked on every rug. Find the same handmade rug for less at a legitimate seller and we match it.
Lifetime guarantee
Every handmade rug we sell is guaranteed for life to be authentic and of the quality described: hand-knotted or handwoven, with the origin, age and materials in its listing. If it ever proves otherwise, bring it back for a full refund.
A tribal tradition
Who weaves them. Baluch rugs are woven by Baluch tribal families in western Afghanistan and the borderlands with Iran and Pakistan, many of them semi-nomadic. Designs are often woven from memory and passed down from mother to daughter.
What to look for. Deep reds, navy and aubergine, sometimes with natural camel-colored wool, in small geometric motifs. Prayer-rug layouts are common. They are wool on wool and made to be used every day.
Your rug. This 4x6 Baluch rug was woven by hand, one knot at a time. No other rug in the world is exactly like it.
Made by hand
This rug was woven by hand on a loom, one row at a time, over about four to six weeks. Small variations in color and shape are the marks of the weaver’s hand.
- Wool: sheared, washed and combed, then spun into yarn, much of it by hand.
- Dye: dyed in small batches, so every rug has gentle color shifts (abrash).
- Weaving: knotted by hand from a pattern or from memory, row after row.
- Finishing: beaten, sheared, singed, washed, stretched and dried by hand.
Rugistan® was founded in 2021 by Shams Frough. He served five years alongside U.S. forces as an interpreter in his native Afghanistan, then made Chicago home, where he put himself through college and is still studying today.
Shams and his wife run Rugistan® together, with showrooms in Evanston and Chicago. He still travels to the weaving regions himself and buys most of our rugs in person, from the families and workshops who make them. That's how we keep our prices fair. We also clean and repair handmade rugs.

About this rug, answered
Is this the only one?
Most of our handmade rugs are one of a kind. If the listing says one in stock, this is the only one. It is on its way from our team in Afghanistan, and once it is reserved it is off the market.
Can I see it before I buy?
This rug has not arrived yet: it is on its way from our team in Afghanistan and arrives January 1–30, 2027. Before it ships to you we send photos or a video so you see the colors in daylight, and the 30-day return applies after delivery.
Is this rug guaranteed authentic?
Yes. Like every handmade rug we sell, it carries a lifetime guarantee of authenticity and quality. It is what this listing says it is: hand-knotted or handwoven, with the origin, age and materials described. If it ever proves otherwise, bring it back for a full refund.
Will it fit my room?
The exact size is listed above. For a living room, leave about 18 inches of floor around the rug and keep the front legs of the sofa on it. Chat or text us your room measurements and we will tell you honestly if it fits.
Does it come with a rug pad?
Every rug page has a box to add a Durahold Plus pad custom cut to the rug, so the two can arrive together.
How does shipping and returning work?
Free insured U.S. shipping on every rug in the continental U.S. Online orders can be returned within 30 days in the condition received; a restocking fee of up to 15% may apply to change-of-mind returns. Pack the rug the way it arrived, in its original packaging or in plastic.
Is the size exact?
It measures 3'3" x 4'6" (99 x 137 cm), not including the fringe. Handmade rugs can vary slightly from end to end.
How do I clean it?
Vacuum without the beater bar and blot spills right away. A hand-knotted rug should always be cleaned professionally, never in the home. Rugistan® hand-washes and repairs rugs at both showrooms.
