Overview

This is a classic 'Bokhara' rug, characterized by its repeating rows of octagonal 'gul' (flower) motifs, often referred to as the elephant's foot design.

Story

For centuries, the city of Bukhara in modern-day Uzbekistan served as the great central market for the nomadic Turkoman tribes who wove these distinctive geometric patterns.

Maker / Origin

While the specific weaver is unknown, this rug comes from the long-standing tradition of Pakistani workshop weaving that flourished after 1947.

Condition & Value

The rug appears to be in good vintage condition with a full, healthy pile. Small Pakistani Bokharas are plentiful on the secondary market.
