Afgan Design Handknotted Runner muted medium brownish purple (mauve) tone

The rug in this image is another example of a Bokhara rug, though with a different design and color palette. It still carries the signature features of traditional Bokhara rugs, such as the repeating geometric motifs, but here the pattern appears to be more floral in nature, giving it a distinct look compared to the more common “gul” patterns.

The rich, dark burgundy border with a contrasting blue center stands out as a primary design choice. The use of blue with earthy tones offers a softer, more refined aesthetic compared to the deeper reds and maroons often seen in other Bokhara rugs. The subtle yet intricate motifs throughout the rug, as well as the fringing at the edges, indicate that it is a handcrafted piece made with high-quality wool, staying true to the craftsmanship that Bokhara rugs are famous for.

Overall, the combination of the pattern and color scheme makes this a visually striking and elegant example of Bokhara weaving.
