The Bokhara rugs are always made with a wool pile, but unfortunately, some people try to pass them off as silk. Handmade Bokhara rugs offer excellent value. The well-known Bokhara design originated in Uzbekistan, where nomadic Turkoman tribespeople first sold their rugs. The repetitive octagonal motif, or "gul" (Persian for rose), is characteristic of Bokhara rugs, and today Pakistani people weave this design in a wide range of colours and sizes. More recently, we have seen some interesting variations- in this instance, the design has morphed into butterflies. Pakistan Bokhara rugs are hand-woven using soft wool, sometimes imported from New Zealand, on a white cotton warp and weft. This gives the carpet a touch of silk, but with a much longer pile. These rugs offer great value for money because production is easier than in other carpet manufacturing processes. A carpet's final stage in Pakistan may involve initial tensioning and alignment problems, followed by surface clipping, herbal washing, and tumbling. This tedious task ensures the rug or runner is a success. The company's provenance and the rug are worth considering when buying online.
