Description
A Bokhara-style (or Bukhara) rug, a type of Afghan or Central Asian rug known for its distinctive pattern and rich red color palette. The design is a variation of the traditional Tekke gul pattern, which features symmetrical octagonal medallions, sometimes called "elephant's foot" motifs, arranged in repeating rows. These are typically hand-knotted by Turkmen tribes in Central Asia and Afghanistan using traditional methods. The primary material is often 100% hand-spun wool, prized for its durability and natural luster. The rug features bold geometric patterns with the characteristic octagonal "gul" medallions against a deep red or terracotta background. The color palette often includes accents of black, brown, ivory, and sometimes small touches of blue or green. While the design is a tribal symbol, this size and style often function as area rugs for living rooms, studies, or entryways, and smaller versions can be used as prayer mats. L: 32" W: 48" Good condition.
