Vintage Central Asian Bokhara Room Size Carpet

A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. This Turkmen-style piece features a light blue-grey field decorated with a uniform, rectilinear Kejebe design arranged in seven complete vertical registers, with hooked lozenge minor guls set between. Of the fifteen patterned borders, the widest displays rectangles enclosing rosettes. At each end is an elem (extra end panel) with a double row of fringed lozenges and sharp, columnar divider motifs.
