Bokhara 2plyHand KnottedRug

Brown / Orange95 x 183 cm

Bokhara rugs take their name from the ancient Silk Road city of Bukhara in Central Asia, a historic trading hub where nomadic and settled weaving traditions met and influenced one another. Over generations, weavers migrated and brought these time-honoured design traditions to regions such as Pakistan, where the craft of weaving Bokhara rugs flourished and reached new levels of refinement.

This rug features a 2ply construction, meaning the pile is woven using two strands of wool twisted together before knotting. This technique produces a denser, more lustrous, and longer-lasting pile compared to single-ply alternatives, ensuring the rug handles daily wear with ease.

The visual language of this tradition is defined by repeating gul motifs, which are octagonal or elephant-foot shaped medallions arranged in orderly rows across the field. Enclosed by structured, geometric borders, this piece uses a lighter background field than traditional red iterations, offering a fresh take on a classic aesthetic.

Rugs from this tradition are collected and valued for their deep cultural heritage and enduring quality. Owning a piece like this means welcoming a tradition of skill, patience, and heritage into your home, rather than a mass-produced floor covering.

This rug is entirely handmade using traditional hand-knotted techniques passed down through generations. Artisans spend months meticulously tying each individual knot by hand, investing remarkable skill and patience into every square centimetre.

The 160,000 knots per m2 density reflects a high level of human effort and precision. For a rug of this size, this knot count means hundreds of thousands of individual ties, resulting in a robust structure and a dense, resilient pile.

The combination of skilled hand-knotting, the 4.3 kg weight, and 100% wool construction creates a premium floor covering built to endure. The careful handcrafting ensures that the pattern remains sharp and the foundation stays strong for decades to come.
