Antique Handmade Bokhara Tribal Rug – 176 × 100 cm (5 ft 9 in × 3 ft 3 in)
Traditional Tribal Design • Fine Lamb’s Wool • Timeless Elegance
This beautiful antique handmade Bokhara tribal rug is a fine example of the classic craftsmanship for which traditional Bokhara weavings have been admired for generations. Hand knotted approximately 80 years ago, it combines elegant tribal geometry with a warm, harmonious colour palette, making it a timeless addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Measuring 176 × 100 cm (approximately 5 ft 9 in × 3 ft 3 in), the rug features the iconic repeating Gul design, one of the most recognisable motifs in Central Asian tribal weaving. The orderly arrangement of these traditional medallions creates a balanced composition that is both refined and visually striking.
Hand knotted using exceptionally fine lamb’s wool on a wool foundation, the rug has a wonderfully soft handle while retaining the durability for which genuine tribal weavings are renowned. The entirely wool construction gives the rug warmth, flexibility and an authentic character that has been appreciated by collectors for decades.
Its beautifully mellowed palette of deep burgundy, ivory, charcoal and soft walnut tones has developed naturally over time, giving the rug a richness and depth that only genuine antique pieces can achieve.
Professionally hand washed and ready for immediate use or display.
