The second rug is a Pakistani Bokhara, featuring multiple rows of octagonal guls, commonly known as elephant foot medallions, on a deep red field with repetitive geometric star and diamond borders. A printed label to the reverse reads PIECE NO. 29, SIZE 483 x 75 1.36 M2 and GENUINE PAKISTAN HAND KNOTTED WOOLLEN CARPETS 100% WOOL PILE.

Condition report:
Both rugs show signs of use consistent with their age. The tribal style rug shows visible wear to the pile, particularly towards the centre (photo 1). The fringe at both ends is significantly worn and frayed, with some loss to the overcast edges (photo 4). The Pakistani Bokhara is in generally good condition with an even pile, although there is minor distortion to the overall rectangular shape and some light tangling to the fringe (photo 6).
