Product code: Vintage Turkish Bokhara selling Rug, 19
This is a mid-century Turkish Bokhara rug. It is hand knotted with all wool fiber on a cotton warp and weft as are the majority of all oriental rugs. Many Afghan rugs are all wool and some Turkish and Iranian rugs have a silk base but comparatively few. The design is geometric in nature and the dyes used are not synthetic. It is a country rug not made in a city factory but likely made by one person on a home loom. It has the very common eight sided motif with two borders surrounding. It is a salmon color with white and brown. This rug is in very good condition for its age, has no spots worn to the foundation and has no stains. This rug has approximately 168 knots per square inch for a total of 125,000 making it a medium to finely woven selling rug. I have been selling on eBay for 24 years and have 100% feedback under the name Acanthus. Oriental rugs need not be so expensive but be aware of machine made rugs as well as factory made hand-tied rugs using petrochemicals and poorly paid labor.
