The Bokhara design takes its name from the city of Bukhara in Uzbekistan, though the pattern is produced most widely in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The design is characterised by rows of repeated gul motifs, the octagonal medallion forms that have been central to Central Asian tribal carpet production for centuries. This Afghan piece is woven in pure wool on wool at 121 knots per square inch.
The red rust ground at 4 ft 10 in x 6 ft 9 in is warm and traditional. The Bokhara is one of the most recognised carpet designs in the world precisely because the pattern is so resolved and the red rust palette so naturally suited to domestic interiors. Wool on wool construction gives the carpet exceptional durability.
In your home: Works in sitting rooms, bedrooms and studies. The red ground pairs with dark timber, cream walls and both classic and contemporary interiors.
