This hand-knotted Bokhara runner showcases the traditional gul medallion pattern against a rich dark red field. The iconic elephant foot motifs repeat in precise rows, creating the geometric rhythm that defines this classic Afghan design. Each medallion is outlined in deep burgundy with ivory accents that add subtle contrast to the dominant crimson tones. The overall effect is both formal and inviting, with the deep red palette lending warmth and sophistication.

Woven by skilled Afghan artisans using premium New Zealand worsted wool, this runner represents generations of carpet-making expertise passed down through tribal families. The dense hand-knotting technique creates a durable foundation that will withstand decades of foot traffic while maintaining its vibrant colors. New Zealand wool provides exceptional resilience and natural stain resistance, making this piece both beautiful and practical for daily use.

At nearly nine feet long, this runner works beautifully in hallways, alongside kitchen islands, or down the center of dining tables. The narrow width fits standard passageways while the length creates visual flow in longer spaces. This size suits both traditional and contemporary interiors, particularly those with warm color schemes. Our Bokhara collection offers various interpretations of this timeless pattern, while our runner selection includes complementary styles.
