Celeste Rugs 8'1" x 10'1" Hand Knotted Peshawar Arts and Crafts Denim and Ivory Wool Area Rug

Sprawling floral vine scrolls fill the denim blue field of this hand-knotted Peshawar rug, rendered in crisp ivory and touches of aqua. Artisans meticulously tie high-grade wool by hand, and the soft abrash across the surface gives the piece a grounded, lived-in quality well suited to a busy seating or dining area.

Individually woven by skilled artisans, each rug is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. This authentic craftsmanship results in a distinct work of art built to last for generations.

Construction: Hand-knotted from high-grade wool, chosen for its resilience and its ability to hold the detailed floral vine scrollwork.

Care & Maintenance: Vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding a rotating beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically to keep wear even across the denim field. Professional cleaning is recommended to preserve the abrash and pattern detail.

Story Behind the Art: Hand-knotted rugs are Pakistan's second-largest cottage and small industry that began as early as the 11th century under the Mughal rule. The craftsmen have the capacity to produce any type of rug using all the popular motifs of guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), traceries, and geometric designs in various combinations. While the "stone washes" are used to fade and soften colors, the Peshawar style is characterized by a thinly sheered pile, large print designs, and most predominantly, their antique ivory and sometimes golden tones.
