Story Behind the Art: The term Bokhara traditionally refers to rugs inspired by the Tekke tribe of Central Asia, whose weavings originated near the historic city of Bokhara (Bukhara). Distinguished by their repeating geometric motifs, most notably the elephant’s foot and octagonal gul patterns, Bokhara rugs are celebrated for their rhythmic symmetry and timeless appeal. Over the centuries, this design tradition spread far beyond its origins, and today Bokhara-style rugs are woven in Pakistan, Iran, India, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. Each regional interpretation brings subtle differences—some use richer color variations, silk or wool foundations, longer piles, or distinct knotting techniques—yet all remain united by the iconic Tekke-inspired gul layout. Admired for their balance of traditional geometry and refined craftsmanship, Bokhara rugs continue to embody the enduring legacy of Central Asian weaving artistry.
