About the Item
Handmade Vintage Bukhara Sajadah (Multi-Niche) Runner
This striking vintage runner is a rare find, originating from the historic weaving traditions of Uzbekistan and bearing the classic style of the Bukhara region. Dating to the 1960s, this piece is not only a beautiful decorative accent but also a functional example of Central Asian textile art.
A Unique "Sajadah" Design
Unlike typical hallway runners, this piece is known as a Sajadah or multi-niche prayer rug. It is segmented into distinct panels, each featuring a classic mihrab (archway) motif, often containing a stylized lamp or floral element. This format suggests its traditional use as a collective prayer mat, though today it serves as an exceptional and conversation-starting floor covering.
The craftsmanship is evident in the dense, hand-knotted wool pile and the intricate geometric patterns characteristic of Turkmen/Bukhara artistry. The field features a rich tapestry of color, including deep reds, vibrant gold, cool blues, and sophisticated black, all framed by complex, repeating borders that draw the eye down the length of the rug.
Its excellent vintage condition and modest size make it highly versatile. It is ideal for adding character and warmth to narrow spaces like hallways, entryways, or even alongside a bed. This runner brings genuine Central Asian history and a touch of the nomadic aesthetic into a modern interior.
