This is an antique Caucasian Bukhara wool rug, characterised by its rich claret red field and classic Tekke gul motifs. Arranged in orderly vertical rows, the repeated guls' octagonal emblems with intricate internal geometry are rendered in shades of ivory, terracotta, and walnut brown, embodying the traditional tribal symbolism of the Turkmen weavers.
The field is framed by a dense and elaborate series of borders, including a primary border filled with a rosette and hooked motif chain, and multiple guard stripes that echo stylised forms reminiscent of vines or running water. These layered frames add depth and structure to the rug.
Handwoven from fine, glossy wool and dyed with natural pigments, this Bukhara rug embodies the nomadic heritage of Central Asian craftsmanship. Its soft texture, harmonious palette, and emblematic symmetry make it a prized piece for collectors and those who appreciate refined tribal artistry steeped in centuries of tradition.
Authentic vintage and antique Caucasian rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.

Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your rug in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and therefore extend the life of your rug.
