Bokhara 2plyHand KnottedRug

Brown / OrangeRunner61 x 182 cm

Bokhara rugs take their name from the ancient Silk Road trading hub of Bukhara in Central Asia, where nomadic and village weavers first created and traded these distinctive floor coverings. Over generations, weavers migrated across the region, bringing these cherished design traditions to Pakistan, where skilled artisans continue to produce some of the finest examples available today.

The 2ply designation in this rug means the pile is crafted using two strands of wool twisted together before knotting. This technique produces a significantly denser, more lustrous, and harder-wearing pile than single-ply construction, ensuring the rug retains its rich appearance over decades of use.

The visual language of Bokhara rugs centers around repeating gul motifs, which are traditional octagonal or elephant-foot medallions arranged in neat rows across the field. These central motifs are framed by carefully structured geometric borders, creating a balanced and harmonious composition that anchors a room.

Rugs from this esteemed tradition are valued by collectors and homeowners alike for their exceptional durability and deep cultural heritage. Owning a hand-knotted piece means preserving an ancient craft form, bringing centuries of artisan skill and storytelling directly into your living space.

This rug is entirely hand-knotted by skilled artisans who spend months carefully tying each individual knot by hand. This traditional method requires immense patience, precision, and deep craft knowledge passed down through generations.

With a density of 250,000 knots per m2 across its 182 x 61 cm dimensions, the total knot count reaches approximately 277,000 individual knots. Achieving this level of detail demands a high degree of manual dexterity and many weeks of dedicated labor.

Weighing 2.8 kg, the substantial construction reflects the heavy investment of material and time required to build such a dense, durable pile. This intensive hand-crafting process ensures a level of structural quality that modern machinery simply cannot replicate.
