Story Behind the Art: Peshawar rugs represent one of Pakistan’s most distinguished weaving traditions, dating back to the Mughal Empire of the 11th century. Artisans in this region are celebrated for their ability to recreate diverse motifs — from Persian medallions and paisleys to tribal geometrics — using hand-knotted techniques passed down through generations. These rugs often feature a thinly sheared pile and large-scale designs enhanced by stone washing, which softens colors to create an aged patina. Renowned for their antique ivory and golden tones, hand knotted Peshawar rugs blend historical influence with modern versatility, making them cherished for both elegance and durability in contemporary interiors.
