Story Behind the Art:
Hand-knotted rug weaving in Pakistan dates back to the 11th century, flourishing under Mughal influence and evolving into the nation’s second-largest cottage and small-scale industry. Pakistani artisans are renowned for their exceptional versatility, skillfully crafting rugs that feature a wide range of classic motifs—including guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), geometric patterns, and intricate traceries.
Many pieces undergo a traditional “stone wash” process, which softens and subtly fades the colors to create an aged, refined appearance. Among these, the Peshawar style stands out for its finely sheared pile, bold oversized patterns, and distinctive palette of antique ivory and soft golden hues. Each rug reflects a seamless blend of cultural heritage, artistry, and timeless elegance.
