Product description
This hand-woven Oriental Bokhara rug was made in Pakistan during the 1960s. Woven in the traditional way – flat technique, with the addition of cashmere and naturally dyed in shades of rustic red and ivory. Repeating geometric patterns are the central part of this symmetrically woven rug.
Bokhara rugs are a traditional type of rug with a characteristic pattern and origin from Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The patterns on these rugs are inspired by the fabrics of Turkmen tribes, especially the Tekke tribe. Bokhara rugs have a very characteristic pattern, which usually consists of repeating geometric motifs, most often oval or rhomboidal Gul shapes. This pattern is arranged in rows and columns, often surrounded by borders in the form of smaller geometric patterns. Traditional Bokhara rugs have warm, deep colors, such as red, burgundy, dark blue, beige, as well as various shades of brown. These colors are obtained with natural dyes. Usually made of wool, and sometimes with the addition of silk, which gives them softness and a delicate shine. These are hand-woven rugs, with great precision and attention to detail, which makes them valued for their quality and durability. Bokhara rugs are valued worldwide for their elegant appearance and durability, while also being a beautiful example of traditional handicraft.
