The Bokhara pattern is one of the most widely recognised in the carpet world. The repeating elephant foot motif, known as the gul, has been woven by tribes across Central Asia and Afghanistan for centuries. It originated with the Tekke Turkmen people, and the design spread through trade and migration across the region. What is sold today under the Bokhara name from Afghanistan is a continuation of that tradition, made in the same deep red tones, with the same disciplined repeat, but woven in the workshops and villages of northern Afghanistan.
This medium piece is 3'6" x 6'2", which puts it in a practical range for many rooms. The deep burgundy field with the traditional gul repeat is one of the most versatile colour combinations in the carpet world. It sits well in rooms that have character and age, but it also introduces warmth into spaces that feel bare or unfinished. The wool construction is solid and built to last.
In your home: Works in a study, dining room, bedroom or as a hallway runner alternative. Pairs with dark timber, aged leather, navy and gold tones. Suits classic and colonial style interiors particularly well.
