This red Bokhara rug commands attention with its field of deep crimson wool punctuated by orderly rows of traditional gul medallions in darker burgundy and black. The geometric elephant foot motifs create a hypnotic rhythm across the surface, while the rich red foundation gives the piece warmth and classical appeal. Subtle ivory accents in the intricate border provide gentle contrast without disrupting the rug's bold character.

Woven by skilled artisans in the tribal regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan, this hand-knotted piece represents centuries of unbroken weaving tradition. The dense wool pile uses time-tested knotting techniques passed down through generations of master craftsmen. Premium highland wool creates a durable foundation that will develop an attractive patina with age while maintaining its structural integrity for decades.

At nearly 6 by 9 feet, this rug anchors a standard living room or dining space beautifully, providing ample coverage under a sofa arrangement or dining table for six. The traditional geometric design complements both classic and contemporary interiors. Browse our complete Bokhara rug collection or view more 5 x 8 area rugs in similar sizes.
