The Bokhara design takes its name from the city of Bukhara and is produced most widely across Afghanistan. The repeating gul motif has been central to Turkmen tribal carpet production for centuries. This large piece is woven in pure wool on wool at 196 knots per square inch, a fine knot count for a Bokhara that gives the gul repeat excellent definition.
The maroon ground at 6 ft 4 in x 9 ft 7 in is deep and warm. The disciplined gul repeat in maroon tones is one of the most enduring and versatile colour combinations in the carpet world. Wool on wool at 196 knots per square inch gives exceptional durability.
In your home: Works as the main floor piece in a sitting room or dining room. The maroon ground pairs with dark timber, cream walls and classic or colonial interiors.
