About the Item

Unique Uzbek Bukhara Rug Modified by French Artist, Circa 1950s This is an extraordinary and highly unusual piece where vintage Central Asian textile heritage meets contemporary fine art. This Handmade Uzbek Bukhara rug, originally woven in the 1950s, has been dramatically transformed by an artist in France using specialized fabric paint for a modern art exhibition. The traditional Bukhara "gul" (medallion) motifs are visible beneath a striking, segmented wash of color that includes shades of blue, purple, orange, and deep red. The painting process has given the rug a bold, vibrant, and unique abstract aesthetic while maintaining the original nomadic design beneath. Condition and Texture: The application of special fabric paint means the wool pile feels slightly stiff to the touch compared to an untreated rug. However, this artistic treatment also makes the wool more durable and ensures the colors will not wash out. This piece is truly one-of-a-kind, designed to function as a striking piece of floor art or a compelling wall hanging. Detailed Specifications: Origin: Uzbekistan (Central Asia) Modification: Hand-painted by an artist in France for a modern art exhibition. Period (Original Weave): Mid-20th Century (Circa 1950s) Material: 100% Hand-knotted Wool; Painted with Special Fabric Paint Condition: Excellent decorative condition; pile is stiff due to paint; highly durable. Dimensions (Metric): 95 cm x 154 cm Dimensions (Imperial): Approximately 3 feet 1 inch x 5 feet 0 inches Style: Contemporary Art / Abstract / Vintage Bukhara This compelling piece is perfect for a collector seeking an item that blends global textile history with a unique, modern artistic intervention. It offers an incredible burst of color and a fascinating conversation piece for any curated interior.
