A lime Bokhara rug with an all-over field of Turkmen güls in neat rows: three columns of rounded octagonal güls, each holding a stepped diamond with a small centre, alternate with smaller cross-shaped minor güls set between them. The güls stand free on the open ground, giving the field a calm, even rhythm. A main border of small octagon güls, guard stripes of tiny hooked motifs and end bands of diamond lattice frame the design, with fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in Pakistan in wool and silk, with a soft, silky sheen. At 80×124cm this is an extra small rug, ideal for an entrance, a bedside or a small space.

Material: wool and silk pile, hand-knotted in Pakistan. The wool gives the rug body and resilience, while the silk adds a soft, silky sheen and depth of colour that changes as the light moves across it.
Silk is more delicate than wool, so this rug is happiest beside a bed or in a quiet corner rather than a busy entrance, and the pile looks lighter or darker depending on the direction it is brushed.
Bokhara is the name the trade gives to rugs drawn in the Turkmen gül tradition, and in Pakistan the style has been woven for generations. On this finely knotted piece the güls fill the field in neat rows: three columns of rounded octagonal major güls, each holding a stepped diamond with a small centre, alternate with smaller cross-shaped minor güls set between them. Unlike a Jaldar, there is no lattice here; the güls stand free on the open ground, and the repetition gives the rug a calm, even rhythm. A main border of small octagon güls, guard stripes of tiny hooked motifs and end bands of diamond lattice frame the whole, and the pile is finished with fringe at both ends. Silk in the pile gives the fresh lime ground a soft, silky glow, an unusual and lively colour for a Bokhara. A rug of this size suits a bedside, a hallway corner or any small space.
