Story Behind the Art:
Hand-knotted rug weaving in Pakistan dates back to the 11th century, flourishing under the Mughal Empire as an art form that blended Persian and South Asian influences. Today, it stands as the country’s second-largest cottage and small-scale industry, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and artistic diversity. Pakistani weavers skillfully create intricate designs featuring classic motifs such as guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), traceries, and geometric patterns—each rug reflecting centuries of cultural heritage.
Distinctive “stone washing” techniques are often applied to achieve a beautifully aged look, softening and blending colors for a refined, vintage finish. Among the most recognizable styles, the Peshawar rug is admired for its thinly sheared pile, large-scale patterns, and signature antique ivory or golden tones. Hand-knotted Pakistani rugs remain prized worldwide for their durability, elegance, and timeless design rooted in tradition and artistry.
