Story Behind the Art: Hand-knotted rugs represent Pakistan’s second-largest cottage and small-scale industry, with roots tracing as early as the 11th century under Mughal rule. Master weavers are adept at producing virtually any style, drawing on a vast design vocabulary that includes guls, central medallions, paisleys (botehs), delicate traceries, and geometric patterns often combined in inventive ways. Finishing techniques like “stone washing” are traditionally used to soften and gently fade colors, lending a timeworn patina prized by collectors and designers. Among the most recognized regional looks, the Peshawar style stands out for its thinly sheared pile, large-scale print motifs, and a palette led by antique ivory with occasional golden undertones. The result is a rug aesthetic that balances craft heritage with decorative versatility, well suited to both classic and contemporary interiors.
