6'9x9'9 Turkmen Bukhara Gul Design Rug | Hand-Knotted Afghan Wool | Deep Red Octagon Medallion Carpet

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Baghlan Village, Afghanistan in the 1970s, this rug is woven in a classic Turkmen Bukhara gul design — tight rows of octagonal medallions fill the field, each framed in ivory and beige against a deep red-and-maroon ground, with small secondary diamonds between guls picked out in brown. Multiple narrow guard borders in matching tones frame the field before a wider patterned outer border closes the composition, the layered-border structure typical of fine Bukhara weaving.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug is in excellent, close-to-perfect condition with strong, even color throughout. At 6'9" x 9'9", it's a versatile size for a living room or bedroom, with a bold repeat pattern that reads as classic and timeless.
