Bokhara 2plyHand KnottedRug

Green / Dark greenRunner79 x 206 cm

Bokhara rugs trace their design roots back to the ancient Silk Road city of Bukhara in Central Asia, where nomadic tribes traditionally wove woolen items for daily use. Over generations, this distinctive craft migrated southward, and today some of the finest examples are carefully produced by master artisans in Pakistan.

The designation 2ply refers to the construction of the pile yarn, which is spun using two distinct strands of wool twisted together. This technique produces a denser, more lustrous, and longer-lasting pile compared to single-ply alternatives, ensuring the surface handles daily footsteps with ease.

Visually, traditional Bokhara rugs are known for repeating gul motifs, which are stylized, octagonal elephant-foot medallions arranged in orderly rows across the field. While traditional Bokhara designs often feature deep red backgrounds, this unique piece showcases an unconventional green field that offers a fresh and calming twist on a classic aesthetic.

Rugs from this storied tradition are highly valued by collectors and homeowners alike for their exceptional durability and deep cultural heritage. Owning one is a way to appreciate human skill and historical continuity, bringing a lasting piece of textile art into your living space.

This runner is meticulously hand-knotted by skilled artisans who tie each knot individually by hand. Achieving a density of 250,000 knots per m2 across the 206 x 79 cm dimensions requires a total count of approximately 406,850 hand-placed knots.

Constructed with a substantial weight of 4.1 kg, this piece reflects the high volume of natural wool and the considerable hours of human labor invested in its creation. A skilled weaver spends many months carefully executing each row to ensure precise pattern alignment and a firm, durable foundation.

This intensive hand-knotting process is what gives the rug its exceptional structural integrity and dense pile quality. The careful attention required for every single knot ensures a level of durability and fine detail that simply cannot be replicated by machinery.
