Skilled artisans work across a wide range of traditional motifs, including guls, medallions, paisley-inspired botehs, intricate traceries, and geometric patterns combined in countless variations. Peshawar-style rugs are distinguished by a low, thinly sheared pile and boldly scaled pattern work, often finished with a gentle stone-wash treatment that softens and fades the original coloration. This process gives Peshawar rugs their signature aged appearance, typically rendered in antique ivory tones with subtle golden undertones throughout the field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52391864369372,"sku":"AOR21377","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21377_20shopify_20aor.jpg?v=1788166170","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/aqua-handknotted-wool-aor21377","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
