Royal Bokharas
Easily distinguished from other orien
tal rugs, as ther follow an almost ex
clusive design. The pattern in the center
of the rug consists of octagonal figures
repeated, with diamond shaped figures,
separating the octagons across the rug.
The main border usually has a pattern
corresponding with the center figures, separated by narrow
diagonal stripes resembling a fret work- The coloring of the
ground work is invariably a rich shade of red. The dull, rich
colors have the qualities of an old Dutch painting, growing
richer with years, and the texture, close as that of velvet,
becomes soft as fur with the touch of time.
A large importation of these has just been received in
time for the Christmas gift seeker. Let ns show them to you.
