BOKHARA

These rugs have fine repetative geometric patterns on a solid background color -generally in jewel tones. They tend to have velvety, plush piles and are very pliant (almost blanket-like) in texture. They are part of a very long tradition and heritage in various parts of Pakistan such as Multan, Hyderabad, Lahore and surrounding areas of the northeast region.
