- Lot Description
Vibrant Persian Bokhara Rug. Very bright red wool juxtaposed with white geometric patterns.
Size: 36 x 58 in.
#4479 .
Bokhara rugs take their names from the city of Bukhara in the southwest of Uzbekistan, although they are produced all over the area between Central Asia and the Middle East. They were preceded by the Teke (or Tekke) rug, which was usually a similar reddish color with comparable geometric patterns, and were made by the Turkoman tribes of the same name from the 8th to the 17th Century. Due to the popularity and the long rule of the tribe before modern times, many variants of the rug have emerged through the diaspora, with the most popular and luxurious coming from Pakistan, as well as Afghanistan and Turkey. Their soft pile, vibrant red tone, and abundance of repeating diamond or oval motifs make them highly sought by collectors, particularly those who are interested in the different tribes and their unique takes on the style. The Salor tribe in Afghanistan, for example, makes rugs with just one row of symmetrical octagons that feature a diamond or smaller octagon within their borders, with flowery designs at the heart of them. Meanwhile the Yomud tribe, which is more nomadic and moves throughout Central Asia, tends to favor more eclectic designs, often incorporating the Greek cross to divide the rug into four sections and using Persian knots as well as Indian motifs including the octagons known as “elephant’s feet.” Beshir or Ersari Bokharas are characterized by their zig-zag borders that go around a row of either tree patterns or diamond medallions that conjoin decorating the center, and Khina Bokharas (sometimes ubiquitous referred to as “Afghans”) are larger, dominated by rich red accents and multiple rows of dual-colored octagons that appear quartered. Pinde Bokharas are the most difficult to find, woven in Turkmen, a remote Pinde district, and are almost exclusively used for prayer. The most sought after are the Royal Bokhara, which are non-prayer rugs, and the Princess Bokhara, which is smaller and used in places of worship to pray. The Royal Bokhara Rugs are dominated by red hues and feature multiple rows of elongated octagons. These join both vertically and horizontally and alternate with small diamond motifs, which earned them a Western nickname “the window pane rug.” Princess Bokharas hold religious and cultural importance and are more distinct, having higher levels of intricacy but often more austere colors, to show humility.
