Bokhara 2plyHand KnottedRug

Black / Dark yellowRunner79 x 309 cm

Bokhara rugs trace their design roots back to the ancient Silk Road city of Bukhara in Central Asia, where nomadic weavers perfected distinct geometric motifs. Over generations, weaving families migrated and established new roots in Pakistan, bringing these traditional patterns with them and adapting them into some of the finest hand-knotted rugs available today.

The 2ply designation in the name refers to the construction of the pile, where two individual strands of wool are twisted together before being knotted. This technique produces a denser, more lustrous, and harder-wearing surface compared to single-ply yarns, ensuring the rug handles daily footfall with ease.

Visually, this tradition is known for its repeating gul motifs, which are stylized octagonal medallions arranged in neat rows down the field, framed by precise geometric borders. While traditional Bokhara rugs are frequently red, this unique piece features a striking green field, offering a fresh take on a classic design language.

Owning a piece from this tradition connects your home to centuries of hand-weaving heritage and skill. It represents a commitment to authentic craft, offering enduring quality that stands apart from mass-produced floor coverings.

This runner is meticulously hand-knotted by skilled artisans who spend months tying each individual knot by hand. With a density of 250,000 knots per m2 across its 309 x 79 cm dimensions, it contains roughly 609,000 hand-tied knots in total.

The sheer human effort and time invested in creating this piece reflect a level of precision that machines simply cannot replicate. This careful attention to detail ensures sharp pattern definition and a sturdy, dense foundation.

Weighing 6.1 kg, the substantial construction demonstrates the generous amount of natural wool and labour invested in its creation, resulting in a durable piece designed to last.
