Pakistani Black Bukhara — Elephant's Foot

£725£875In stock, ready to ship

Hand-knotted in Northern Pakistan, this striking Black Bukhara features the iconic Elephant's Foot gul — a widely recognised and cherished name for this classic Bukhara motif. Woven from durable wool on a sturdy cotton base, it combines deep, dramatic colour with exceptional strength and longevity. A rich jet-black field provides a bold backdrop for neat rows of guls in warm ivory, soft terracotta, rust, and gentle beige — each one finely detailed and perfectly spaced. The multi-layer border is intricately patterned with repeating geometric and floral elements, framing the design with timeless symmetry and depth. Generously sized at 178 × 129 cm, this is a versatile piece ideal for hallways, dining rooms, bedrooms, or living spaces — a rug that anchors a room and adds instant character. The deep black palette makes it wonderfully practical as well as elegant, complementing both light and dark furnishings and working beautifully in modern, traditional, or contemporary interiors alike. Woven over approximately 5 months by skilled artisans.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 150 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 533,868 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 5 months.

How that is worked out: 70 in × 51 in × 150 knots per sq. in. ≈ 533,868 — that is 178 × 129 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.

Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.

The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
