Story Behind the Art: Hand-knotted rug weaving in Pakistan represents one of the country’s most significant cottage industries, with roots that trace back as early as the 11th century during the Mughal era. Generations of skilled artisans have developed the expertise to create a vast range of rug styles, skillfully incorporating traditional motifs such as guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), intricate tracery, and bold geometric patterns in countless combinations. In Peshawar-style rugs, a distinctive finishing process often includes stone washing, a technique used to gently soften and age the colors for a time-worn appearance. These rugs are further defined by their finely sheared, low-profile pile and large-scale design elements. The color palette is dominated by antique ivory tones, frequently accented with warm golden hues, giving Peshawar rugs their signature elegance, subtlety, and timeless appeal.
