Coral 8'3''x11 Bokhara Traditional Geometric 200 KPSI Silky Sheen Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

Inspired by traditional Central Asian Bokhara weaving, this 8'3''x11' hand-knotted wool rug features a low 0.25-inch pile and a cotton foundation, woven at approximately 200 KPSI to achieve crisp geometric definition. The finely clipped wool surface exhibits a gentle silky sheen that enhances clarity while maintaining a smooth, tailored feel. The design is organized into evenly spaced rows of geometric guls, creating a rhythmic and orderly composition rather than a single focal point. A warm coral and orange field establishes richness, balanced by ivory, beige, and dusty-rose highlights. Charcoal, slate, and muted brown outlines define the geometry, while layered borders repeat smaller motifs to frame the rug cohesively. Its elongated proportions make it especially well suited for dining rooms, large seating areas, or long living spaces.

Story Behind the Art: The term Bokhara is widely used in the rug industry to describe carpets featuring the iconic Tekke gul pattern, originally associated with the Tekke tribe of Central Asia. These traditional rugs are easily identified by their orderly rows of repeating geometric motifs, most notably the octagonal “elephant foot” gul. While the design originated in the Bokhara region, Bokhara-style rugs are now hand-knotted across many countries including Pakistan, Iran, India, Turkey, Afghanistan, and other parts of Central Asia. Regional variations may introduce differences in color saturation, pile height, foundation materials such as wool or silk instead of cotton, or knotting techniques. Despite these differences, rugs that retain the classic Tekke gul composition are universally classified as Bokhara rugs, valued for their rhythmic geometry, durability, and timeless tribal character.
