Bukhara
Bukhara rugs, which originate from Pakistan, are characterised by their thick pile, which gives them a particularly soft texture and creates a cosy atmosphere. These rugs are divided into two quality levels: 2ply and 3ply. The 3ply quality has a higher knot density and is knotted more intricately, making it extremely hard-wearing. For those who prefer cosiness and want to add a special touch to their room, the Bukhara rug is the ideal choice.

Knot density of oriental carpets
The quality of a carpet is reflected in its fineness, which is defined by the knot density - the number of knots per square metre. This measure is not only an indicator of the precision of the craftsmanship, but also has a significant influence on the overall quality of the carpet. A higher knot density not only allows the creation of complex patterns, but also demonstrates the masterful skill of the craftsmen. The skilful knotting of fine knots creates a rug that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also impresses with its robustness and cultural significance. The knot density of our carpets can be found on the product page under the properties.

The production of a bukhara rug
The production of Bukhara carpets in Pakistan follows traditional handicraft methods and requires special skills and care. The choice of material forms the basis of each rug, with high-quality Bukhara rugs often being made from hand-spun sheep's wool. The design and patterning play a crucial role and are characteristic of these rugs, which often include geometric shapes, medallions and floral motifs. These patterns are worked out with great care and serve as a template for the subsequent knotting. Bukhara rugs are offered in different quality levels, namely 2ply and 3ply, which differ in knot density. Carpets of the 3ply quality are knotted more elaborately and have a higher knot density, which results in a finer texture and more detailed patterns. This gives the carpet a special fineness and artistic expressiveness. The production of Bukhara rugs in Pakistan thus represents an artisanal process that combines traditional techniques and cultural elements to create a high-quality and aesthetically pleasing end product.
