About the Item

Bokhara rugs are known for their distinctive designs and high knot densities. This rug features the classic gul in a repetitive linear pattern. What's interesting about this rug is the importance that the weaver put into the border. It carries a significance of its own with its size and multiple layers. This rug will be beautiful on its own but it can also be layered over a larger rug. Soft pile, good worn condition. Safe for high traffic. Wear Guide: Vintage and antique rugs are by nature, pre-loved and may show evidence of their past. There are varying degrees of wear to vintage rugs; some show very little and some show a lot. As unique as each piece is, so is our subjective response to an objects' appearance. Our inventory is diverse and features all levels of wear. For those customers who love wear we have put together the following reference legend that will guide you as to the level of wear in the rug. Please keep in mind that worn areas, repairs, and lower piles are not considered defects. Most of our heavily worn rugs have a fully restored foundation so that the rug secured and free of holes. 0-1 Near flawless, original condition without visible repairs. 2-4 Very slight even wear, slightly faded colors. 5-6 Moderate wear in a few areas, small amount of foundation may show in some areas.
