This Afghan Bokhara displays the classic repeating gul motifs arranged in precise rows across a rich red field. The traditional octagonal medallions create a rhythmic pattern that draws the eye inward, while the deep crimson background provides warmth and sophistication. Border guards frame the composition with complementary geometric designs that enhance the rug's structured appearance.

Crafted by Afghan weavers using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this piece showcases the distinctive Bokhara style that originated along ancient trade routes. The foundation uses durable cotton warps while the pile features high-quality Ghazni wool known for its resilience and natural luster. Hand-knotted construction ensures each tuft is individually secured, creating density and longevity that machine-made alternatives cannot match.

At 5'6" x 8'4", this rug anchors medium to large living rooms, dining areas, or master bedrooms with ease. The size works well under dining tables that seat six to eight people or in seating arrangements where furniture legs can rest partially on the borders. The traditional red palette complements both classic and contemporary interiors, from leather furnishings to neutral modern pieces.

This Bokhara rug collection represents centuries of weaving tradition, while the 5 x 8 size range offers versatile placement options. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
