About the Item

A captivating antique Uzbek Bukhara rug from the 1920s, showcasing the distinctive geometric artistry of Central Asian tribal weaving. This hand-knotted wool piece features a striking composition of repeating diamond medallions in rich crimson red against a soft beige field, creating a mesmerizing visual rhythm that draws the eye. The rug's intricate border system displays classic Bukhara design elements: vibrant blue octagonal guls alternating with golden geometric motifs, all framed by multiple guard borders in deep navy, burgundy, and cream. The masterful use of natural dyes creates a harmonious palette of reds, blues, golds, and earth tones that has mellowed beautifully over the past century. This piece exhibits authentic signs of age and use, including areas of natural wear that reveal its genuine antique character and nearly 100 years of history. The distressed patina adds depth and authenticity, making it particularly appealing for collectors who appreciate the honest beauty of time-worn textiles. The traditional Bukhara weaving technique and tribal motifs reflect the rich cultural heritage of Uzbekistan's nomadic weavers, making this rug not just a decorative piece but a tangible connection to Central Asian artistic traditions.
