Red Bukhara — Elephant's Foot

£375£545In stock, ready to ship

A magnificent Pakistani Red Bukhara — a truly timeless design, hand-woven with exceptional skill and care by master artisans. This striking piece features the celebrated Elephant’s Foot pattern — a cherished and instantly recognisable motif that gives this style its widely known and beloved name, admired and collected across the world. Expertly hand-knotted from premium hand-spun wool on a sturdy cotton foundation, it possesses a wonderfully soft, dense and plush feel underfoot — luxuriously comfortable yet exceptionally hard-wearing, built to grace your home with beauty and warmth for generation after generation. The design unfolds upon a field of rich, glowing crimson red — vibrant and welcoming, yet deep and full of character. Running down the centre are five distinct oval medallions, each one finely detailed in ivory, warm gold and soft sky blue — the very heart of the Elephant’s Foot design. Elegant pointed triangular ornaments frame each medallion above and below, adding grace and balance, while broad, intricately patterned borders in complementary gold, cream and deep burgundy complete the look with traditional grandeur. Measuring a generous 155 cm by 95 cm, this is a beautifully proportioned rug — perfectly sized to take pride of place in a living room, bring warmth and colour to a bedroom, anchor a dining table, or make a welcoming statement in an entrance hall. The rich red palette brings instant energy and comfort to any space, while the classic Elephant’s Foot design sits equally beautifully alongside traditional furniture or contemporary interiors. A genuine hand-knotted Pakistani Red Bukhara — Elephant’s Foot — full of character, rich in heritage and made to last.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 100 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 228,238 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 6 months.

How that is worked out: 61 in × 37 in × 100 knots per sq. in. ≈ 228,238 — that is 155 × 95 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.
