Vintage Bokarra Turkish Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1960s. This striking vintage area rug exemplifies the enduring appeal of mid-century textile artistry. Woven in Turkey, this piece adapts the traditional Tekke gul pattern into a mesmerizing, repeating grid. The highly structured design is typical of the bokarra style, known for its deep, saturated hues and precise geometric motifs.

The composition features an elegant, columnar arrangement of rectangular panels, each housing a stylized medallion or gul. This complex, repeating structure creates an effective allover rug pattern that draws the eye vertically. The meticulous knotting technique ensures clarity in every detail, from the central motifs to the intricate, multi-layered borders framing the field.

The palette is exceptionally rich and varied, deviating from the strictly monochromatic reds often associated with this type. Deep burgundy, moss green, navy blue, and ochre are juxtaposed against creamy beige grounds, creating a vibrant multicolor jewel tone rugs effect. This sophisticated use of color highlights the individual character of each geometric compartment.

Its robust construction and enduring design ensure it remains a functional piece of decorative history. This piece is ideally suited as a small scatter size rug for hallways, entryways, or intimate reading nooks, offering both visual depth and textural warmth to contemporary interiors. See less
