Bokhara 2plyHand KnottedRug

Green / Dark green244 x 301 cm

The Bokhara rug is one of the most recognisable traditions originating from Central Asia, with roots tracing back to the ancient Silk Road city of Bukhara. While the style has historical ties to nomadic tribes, the finest examples of these rugs are today masterfully woven in Pakistan, where artisans have perfected the craft over generations.

The term 2ply refers to the construction of the pile, where two strands of Wool are twisted together before being knotted. This technical choice is significant because it produces a much denser, more lustrous, and durable pile compared to single-ply alternatives. It is this specific construction that gives these rugs their signature soft, velvet-like touch.

Bokhara rugs are famous for their field of repeating gul motifs, which are stylised, medallion-like shapes often resembling elephant footprints. These are typically arranged in clean, geometric rows and framed by sophisticated, multi-layered borders. The green field seen here is a beautiful, less common variation that highlights the intricate detail of these traditional patterns.

Collecting a Bokhara rug is an appreciation of a heritage that values both artistic expression and functional longevity. These pieces are not just floor coverings but are considered works of art that carry the skill and cultural history of their makers. Owning one connects your home to a long lineage of craft, making it a meaningful addition to any space.

This rug is meticulously hand-knotted by skilled artisans, a process that requires immense patience and precision. Each individual knot is tied by hand, resulting in a robust structure that ensures the rug remains a staple in your home for many years to come.

With a density of 250,000 knots per m2, this rug represents hundreds of hours of focused labour. This high level of knot density is the secret behind the crispness of the design and the luxurious, dense feel of the pile, offering a level of durability and detail that simply cannot be replicated by machines.

The foundation is built for longevity, with the hand-knotted construction creating a tight, cohesive weave. By choosing this piece, you are supporting a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship where every detail is considered to produce a finished item of exceptional reliability.
