Bokhara Runner Rug 256 × 78 cm
Bokhara Runner Rug 256 × 78 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
Ten ivory guls form a stately procession along the rich red field of this Afghan Bokhara runner rug. Dark outlines sharpen each emblem, while smaller geometric motifs create a delicate rhythm along both sides. Multiple borders frame the composition with diamonds, angular forms and finely repeated details, giving the elongated design remarkable order and visual depth.
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from wool, the runner reflects the disciplined symmetry associated with the Bokhara design tradition. Its strong contrast, precise pattern repetition and individually worked details give this one-of-a-kind wool runner a distinctive handmade presence.

Care & Maintenance
- Hand-knotted wool rugs are made to last with the right care. Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting, rotate the rug occasionally for even wear, and blot any marks promptly with a clean cloth rather than rubbing.
- For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended to help protect the wool fibres, natural dyes and hand-knotted structure of the rug.
Note
- Each rug is professionally photographed to represent its colours as accurately as possible, while natural light, pile direction and digital display settings may create subtle variations in tone.
- Where additional colour is required, the wool in our hand-knotted rugs is coloured exclusively with vegetable dyes, complementing the fibre’s natural tonal variation and the individual character of the weave.
- Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
