This dark red Bokhara runner showcases the classic repeating gul medallion pattern that has made this design famous for centuries. The deep crimson field provides a rich backdrop for the orderly rows of traditional elephant foot motifs, each outlined in contrasting borders. The geometric precision creates a sophisticated rhythm down the length of this narrow format, while the saturated red palette brings warmth and character to any hallway or corridor.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan and Pakistan, this piece represents generations of traditional rug making expertise passed down through weaving families. The foundation uses premium New Zealand worsted wool, known for its durability and ability to hold rich dyes over time. Hand-knotted construction ensures each tuft is individually secured, creating the dense pile texture that distinguishes authentic Oriental rugs from machine-made alternatives.

At just over six feet long and two feet wide, this runner works perfectly in hallways, galley kitchens, or as an accent beside beds and sofas. The proportions suit both traditional and contemporary interiors, while the Bokhara design complements furniture in warm wood tones or rich fabrics. This compact size fits smaller spaces without overwhelming the room. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan and Pakistani weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
