Bokhara 2plyHand KnottedRug

Brown / Orange97 x 154 cm

Bokhara rugs take their name from the ancient Silk Road city of Bukhara in Central Asia, a historic trading hub famous for its textile traditions. Over generations, the craft migrated and found a vibrant second home in Pakistan, where skilled weavers adapted and perfected the distinct aesthetic.

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

Visually, traditional Bokhara rugs are celebrated for their repeating gul motifs, which are octagonal or elephant-foot shaped medallions arranged in orderly rows. These are typically framed by geometric borders that anchor the field design.

Owning a hand-knotted Bokhara connects your home to a long lineage of textile artistry. It represents an investment in genuine human skill, cultural heritage, and lasting quality that mass-produced alternatives simply cannot replicate.

This rug is entirely handmade through traditional hand-knotted techniques, reflecting hundreds of hours of careful human effort by skilled artisans in Pakistan.

Featuring a fine knot density of 160,000 knots per m2 across its 154 x 97 cm dimensions, the construction totals approximately 238,000 individual hand-tied knots. This meticulous density ensures exceptional structural integrity and pattern clarity.

Weighing 3.7 kg, the substantial construction demonstrates the generous amount of natural wool and dense packing invested in the piece, guaranteeing a resilient floor covering built to endure for generations.
