Soft gray tones establish the foundation of this 3x5 hand knotted Peshawar wool rug, layered with washed hues of blue, aqua, moss, and beige. The low cut wool pile creates a gently aged effect characteristic of traditional Peshawar weaving, where muted coloration and relaxed patterning define the aesthetic.
Floral vines unfold evenly across the field, framed by a narrow border that echoes the subdued earth tones without overpowering the composition. Originating from the Peshawar region, these rugs blend Persian-inspired detailing with lighter palettes and softer finishes, making them especially appealing for contemporary American homes seeking vintage style wool rug, small oriental rug 3x5, or muted traditional rug for bedroom.
Finished with a durable cotton foundation, this piece offers approachable elegance and everyday functionality.

Story Behind the Art: Hand-knotted rug weaving in Pakistan dates back to the 11th century under Mughal influence. Skilled artisans developed expertise in producing guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), traceries, and geometric motifs.
The Peshawar style is recognized for its thinly sheared pile, large-scale patterns, and softly faded palette achieved through stone washing techniques. Antique ivory and golden tones define many pieces, making them popular for vintage-style wool area rugs in transitional interiors.
