Introduction To Bokhara Rugs ~
"Bokhara is a term commonly used to describe Tekke-faced rugs. Tekke was a tribe from the area of Bokhara in Central Asia. The design is dominated by rows of guls and surrounding geometric patterns. The Tekke tribe is also thought to have incorporated some design aspects of the Salor tribe, also from the area of Bokhara in Central Asia. Some historians suggest that the Tekke most likely vanquished the original Salor tribe and assimilated their designs. Today 'Bokhara' designed rugs are made across the carpet-weaving world, including Pakistan, Iran, India, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Central Asia.
Bokhara rugs are usually Tekke faced and are defined by their symmetrical patterns of repeated oval or diamond shaped motifs. They are traditionally designed with tones of rich Red but also feature Green, Rose, Ivory, and Grey hues.
Because of their incredibly soft piles, Bokhara rugs are prized in the region and across the Western hemisphere.
An authentic Bokhara rug is hand knotted.
Royal Bokhara Rugs:
Usually feature a red primary with multiple rows of elongated renditions of octagons joined horizontally and vertically with lines and alternating small diamond motifs -- a style also known as a window pane design."
