Pakistani Bukhara

£475£525In stock, ready to ship

A magnificent Red Pakistani Bukhara hand-knotted rug — rich, striking and beautifully proportioned. Expertly woven in Pakistan from premium hand-spun wool on a sturdy cotton base, it offers a wonderfully soft, plush feel underfoot alongside exceptional strength and longevity — built to endure daily use and retain its beauty for generations. Glowing in vibrant crimson red, the field carries two perfectly balanced rows of the iconic elephant-foot medallion — each one outlined in crisp black and filled with ivory, warm gold and soft beige, creating a design that is both timeless and effortlessly stylish. Delicate star and diamond motifs fill the spaces between the guls, adding fine detail and depth, while broad, intricately patterned borders frame the composition with classic tribal symmetry and grace. Measuring a generous 189 cm by 124 cm, this versatile medium–large size is ideal for living rooms, dining areas, bedrooms or hallways — bringing warmth, character and a touch of traditional grandeur to any setting. A superb Red Pakistani Bukhara — rich in colour, beautifully made, and ready to become the heart of your space.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 120 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 435,910 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 5 months.

How that is worked out: 74 in × 49 in × 120 knots per sq. in. ≈ 435,910 — 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.
