Bokara Rugs

“Bokara” (or Bukhara) is a term widely used to describe rugs featuring the repeating gul (tribal crest) motif, most famously woven by the Tekke and Ersari tribes of Turkmenistan. Characterized by their rhythmic, symmetrical patterns and deep red fields, these rugs have become a global design staple.

Their disciplined, geometric layout and velvet-like pile offer a masculine, professional aesthetic. They are the quintessential “study rug,” providing a sense of order, stability, and classic tradition.
