Vintage Hand-Knotted Afghan Bokhara Area Rug, hand knotted in the mid-1900s. Bokhara rugs are celebrated for their distinctive geometric patterns and the unique luster of their wool, and this piece is a magnificent embodiment of that cherished tradition.
This beautiful Afghan area rug features a compelling all-over geometric design dominated by classic octagonal medallions, known as "Gul" (flower). These iconic motifs are gracefully set against a rich and inviting plum/deep burgundy color background, with the medallions themselves rendered in contrasting shades of dark burgundy and midnight blue, creating a sophisticated and visually dynamic composition.
The rug is framed by a narrow border, intricately designed with subtle patterns in warm burnt orange, creamy ivory, and earthy brown colors, providing a harmonious contrast that elegantly defines the field.
One of the most remarkable features of this rug is its very special wool, which possesses an incredible shimmering quality under light, almost akin to the luxurious feel of silk. This lustrous pile adds a profound depth and richness to the colors, enhancing the rug's overall elegance. This unique tactile and visual quality makes it a highly desirable piece.
With its appealing color combination and classic design, this Vintage Afghan Bokhara rug is exceptionally versatile, capable of seamlessly integrating into and enhancing any room design plan.
