Vintage Central Asian Bokhara Oversize Carpet

A wool pile with asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. Among the largest Pakistan Turkmen 'Bokhara' carpets currently available, this piece features literally hundreds of small Tekke Turkmen tribal guls arranged in fourteen columns across a crisp red field, with chemhe minors between them. The carpet is in a giant gallery format, more than twice as long as it is wide. The reed minor main border showcases Tekke-style floating sunbursts, along with numerous smaller borders. The elems (extra end panels) each contain two rows of Tekke-style fringed lozenges separated by pillar dividers.
