Bokhara 3plyHand KnottedRug

Dark yellow / Black137 x 207 cm

Bokhara rugs trace their design roots back along the ancient Silk Road, taking their name from the historic Central Asian trading hub of Bukhara. Over generations, the tradition of weaving these distinctive patterns migrated southward into Pakistan, where local artisans embraced and refined the craft to an exceptional standard.

The designation 3ply refers to the construction of the pile, where three strands of wool are twisted together before being knotted. This multi-ply technique produces a heavier, more lustrous, and remarkably resilient pile compared to standard single-ply yarns, ensuring the rug holds its appearance and comfort over a lifetime.

The signature design of this tradition features repeating gul motifs, which are octagonal or elephant-foot medallions arranged in neat rows across the field. While traditional Bokhara rugs are famously woven in deep reds, this unique piece showcases a striking green field, offering a fresh and personal interpretation of a classic aesthetic.

Collecting rugs from this lineage is a way to connect with centuries of textile artistry and human skill. Owning such a piece means preserving a living tradition of craftsmanship, where every row of knots represents patience, heritage, and enduring quality for the home.

This rug is entirely hand-knotted by skilled artisans who spend months carefully tying each individual knot by hand. With a density of 250,000 knots per m2, the construction requires immense patience, steady hands, and meticulous attention to detail to achieve the precise alignment of the traditional motifs.

Weighing 8.8 kg across a size of 207 x 137 cm, the dense foundation houses millions of tightly secured wool fibres. This high knot count does more than just define the crispness of the pattern; it creates a supportive, densely packed pile that stands up to daily wear and maintains its integrity for years to come.
