Story Behind the Art: Deeply rooted in Mughal heritage, Peshawar rugs represent one of Pakistan’s most celebrated hand-knotted traditions. Originating as early as the 11th century, rug weaving became a vital cottage industry under Mughal rule, where skilled artisans mastered the art of knotting intricate patterns by hand. Using motifs like guls, medallions, paisleys, and geometric forms, hand-knotted Peshawar rugs are known for their antique-inspired elegance and remarkable craftsmanship. Their signature thinly sheared pile, soft neutral hues, and “stone-washed” finishes produce a vintage patina prized by collectors worldwide. With their warm ivory and golden undertones, these rugs bring timeless sophistication and artisan charm to both traditional and modern interiors.
