Pakistani Rust Orange Bukhara — Elephant's Foot

£695£825In stock, ready to ship

Rich, warm, and wonderfully inviting — this hand-knotted Bukhara from Northern Pakistan centres around a glowing rust orange field that fills any room with instant warmth. The classic Elephant's Foot gul repeats in neat, orderly rows across the rug, each motif outlined in crisp ivory and cream with subtle turquoise and soft gold highlights that lift the palette beautifully. Woven from premium wool over a strong cotton foundation, the pile feels dense and soft underfoot — built to stand up to daily life while retaining its depth of colour and texture. The multi-layer border is a showcase of fine traditional weaving: delicate repeating patterns frame the main field, adding depth and a sense of balance from every angle. At 189 × 124 cm, this is a beautifully proportioned piece — generous enough to anchor a living area or dining space, yet perfectly sized for a hallway or bedroom too. The earthy rust-orange tone complements oak and darker wood furniture, sits beautifully alongside creams and warm neutrals, and brings a gentle richness to both period and contemporary homes.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 150 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 544,888 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 5 months.

How that is worked out: 74 in × 49 in × 150 knots per sq. in. ≈ 544,888 — that is 189 × 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.
