This lot gives you the chance to bid on a great example of a Bokhara style Persian rug. Bokhara is a term commonly used to describe Tekke-faced rugs. Tekke was a tribe from the area of Bokhara in Central Asia. The design is dominated by rows of guls and surrounding geometric patterns. The Tekke tribe is also thought to have incorporated some design aspects of the Salor tribe, also from the area of Bokhara in Central Asia. Some historians suggest that the Tekke most likely vanquished the original Salor tribe and assimilated their designs. This rug in particular shows a predominantly copper base color, with beautiful hues of brown, khaki, vibrant white, deep blacks, and rich gold. The center of the rug shows five rows of repeating medallions, and framed by a stepped border. Overall, the rug shows good condition with a tight pile, the fringe of the rug is splitting on one side. The rug measures 9' 5" x 6' 1".
