Story Behind the Art: The tradition of hand knotted rug weaving in Pakistan dates back to the 11th century, flourishing under the cultural and artistic influence of the Mughal Empire. Today, it stands as the country’s second-largest cottage and small-scale industry, reflecting generations of skill and artistry. Pakistani weavers are renowned for their ability to craft a wide variety of rug styles, incorporating classic motifs such as guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), traceries, and geometric patterns in countless creative combinations. Among these, the Peshawar style is particularly admired for its thinly sheared pile, large-scale motifs, and distinctive antique ivory and golden hues. These rugs often undergo a stone-washing process, which gently fades and softens the colors, lending each piece a beautifully aged, vintage character. Blending durability with understated elegance, Peshawar rugs remain a hallmark of Pakistani craftsmanship—valued worldwide for their timeless appeal and refined simplicity.
