This beautiful rug will be a centerpiece of important rooms in your home. According to Karastan's on-line advice: "Did you know that floor covering accounts for almost thirty percent of a room’s color? If your area rug is going to be the dominant element in your space, choose a patterned rug with distinctive color combinations. Use shades from the rug to select paints and accessories, and carry those color themes into adjacent rooms with coordinating Karastan rugs. If your rug is going to play a secondary role, keep the color fairly neutral to complement other furnishings in the room."

This rug is especially enjoyable to walk over with bare or stocking feet. And it is extremely durable given the sophisticated art of Karastan's manufacturing processes. Karastan continues to lead the global market for beautiful, well-crafted carpeting and rugs, and a quick view of comparable pricing for vintage Karastan Bokhara rugs show how it holds value akin to luxury and collectible automobiles.
