Soft color and easy elegance, in a shape that stands out. This round Peshawar area rug gives you a gentle blue gray and cream gold look with brown and aubergine depth, finished in a traditional Oriental design. Faded blooms and palmettes in gold and rust float over a pale blue gray center, and a cream gold band wraps the edge. It is a hand knotted wool rug with a fine weave and a smooth, soft pile, so it feels as good as it looks. The gently worn in tones give a relaxed, settled feel, and wool keeps it comfortable for everyday living. Persian style patterns like this one fit a living room, a bedroom, a dining room or a home office with ease, and the circular form suits an entryway or open floor space. Made by hand in Pakistan, it is a calm choice for anyone who likes gentle color.

Story Behind the Art: Hand-knotted rug production is one of Pakistan's most significant cottage industries, with weaving traditions dating back to the 11th century during Mughal rule. Artisans are skilled in producing a wide range of motifs, from guls and medallions to paisley-inspired botehs, fine traceries, and geometric patterns arranged in numerous combinations. The Peshawar style stands out for its low, closely sheared pile and generously scaled pattern designs, often treated with a stone-wash finish that softens and fades the palette. This technique gives Peshawar rugs their characteristic aged look, most commonly seen in antique ivory shades with hints of soft gold throughout.
