Pakistani Blue Bukhara — Elephant's Foot

£695£825In stock, ready to ship

Hand-knotted in Northern Pakistan, this elegant Blue Bukhara features the classic Elephant's Foot gul — a name widely used for this iconic and beloved motif. Woven from quality wool on a sturdy cotton base, it offers a wonderful combination of softness, depth of colour, and long-lasting durability. A rich navy blue field is beautifully offset by rows of guls in warm ivory, cream, and soft terracotta, each detailed with subtle gold and beige accents. The multi-layered border is finely patterned, framing the design with traditional grace and symmetry — a timeless look that brings quiet luxury to any room. Perfectly proportioned at 173 × 124 cm, this is a versatile size ideal for hallways, bedrooms, studies, or smaller living spaces. The deep blue palette works beautifully with both light and dark furnishings, complementing modern, classic, and neutral interiors alike. Woven over approximately 5 months by skilled artisans.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 130 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 432,259 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 5 months.

How that is worked out: 68 in × 49 in × 130 knots per sq. in. ≈ 432,259 — that is 173 × 124 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.
