Red Gabbeh

Bukhara rugs were initially made by nomadic tribes in both Pakistan and India. Bukhara itself was a very important trade center in Turkestan, and as numerous rugs were sourced from there, they came to be identified by the town’s name. A Bukhara rug has a wool foundation and is constructed with handwoven Persian knots. Their classic design consists of repeating octagonal medallion designs, also referred to as “the elephant’s foot”. Bukharas are at once intricate and simple, bridging traditional tastes with modern elements in home decor.
