Story Behind the Art: Hand-knotted rugs are Pakistan’s second-largest cottage and small industry, with roots tracing to the Mughal era as early as the 11th century. Craftspeople there can execute an array of patterns—guls, medallions, boteh (paisleys), tracery, and rigorously geometric designs. “Stone washes” are commonly used to soften and mellow the palette. Within this broader tradition, Peshawar pieces are especially recognizable for their thinly sheared pile, bold scale, and airy compositions, most often in antique-ivory and golden tones. The look is quietly majestic: spacious motifs, sunlit coloration, and a hand that reads both elegant and approachable.
