Located on the Silk Road, the city of Bukhara is an important center for collecting carpets including Turkmen and Uzbek tribes such as the tekkes, sailleurs, yomouths, bechir. Today, under this name, a number of pieces made by the tribes of the vast territory surrounding this city are brought together. A timeless design consisting of the gül motif is significant in this production. Arranged in rows, these drawings are connected to each other by crosses or lines. There are numerous borders, which helps balance the carpet. The Boukharas are tight carpets, on a red background, with touches of saffron, indigo blue, beige. Despite their finesse, the Bokharas are very resistant. Note: the gül pattern is called “elephant’s foot”. The name Bukhara also refers to carpets decorated with gül from northeastern Iran (Khorasan tribe) to western Afghanistan (Beluch). A Pakistani name designates a production of carpets using this pattern, without equaling its quality.
