Story Behind the Art: The Bokhara rug, known for its repeating octagonal “gul” motifs, traces its origins to the Tekke tribe of Central Asia. Initially handwoven by nomadic artisans for personal use, these rugs became famous across Persia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan for their silky texture and symmetrical design. The distinctive elephant-foot pattern, rendered in deep reds, ivory, or charcoal, gives Bokhara rugs their recognizable rhythm and harmony. Modern Bokhara weavers continue this legacy, combining fine hand-spun wool and traditional vegetable dyes to preserve the subtle sheen and softness of the originals. Elegant, resilient, and timeless, Bokhara rugs remain icons of geometric refinement.
