Handmade Wool Turkoman Tribal Rug (Bokhara-Style)

A vibrant Bokhara-style rug featuring repeating octagonal "gul" motifs in black against a bright red field. These traditional geometric emblems—often called "elephant's foot"—originate from Turkmen tribes like the Tekke and symbolize clan identity and nomadic heritage. The design is bordered by intricate geometric bands. Construction details confirm it is hand-knotted: the fringes are natural extensions of the warp threads, and the symmetric (Turkish/Ghiordes) knots show a medium density of approximately 150-250 KPSI, indicating good quality. The rug is in solid condition with an even pile, and no major wear, fading, or repairs are visible on the back. Based on style and dye character, it is assessed as a mid-20th-century piece, likely dating from the 1950s to 1980s. Note: The view of the back shows the colours as less vibrant.
