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. With centuries of tradition behind them, Pakistani artisans have mastered the art of rug-making, incorporating guls, medallions, paisleys, and geometric designs into their creations. The Peshawar style, known for its delicate antique ivory and golden hues, is characterized by a thinly sheared pile and large-scale patterns, giving these rugs a distinct, vintage appeal. Stone-washing techniques further soften and age the colors, enhancing their authenticity. These handwoven treasures continue to be sought after for their elegance, durability, and connection to a rich artistic legacy.
