Story Behind the Art: Hand-knotted rugs represent Pakistan’s second-largest cottage and small-scale industry, with roots that stretch back to the Mughal era of the 11th century. Skilled artisans are capable of producing nearly any rug style, working with classic motifs such as guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), geometric tracery, and a wide variety of repeating patterns. Pak-Persian rugs in particular are renowned for their extremely fine weave, typically featuring a 16 × 18 knot count that results in approximately 288–300 KPSI. This high density makes them exceptionally durable and suitable for high-traffic interiors. Their production expanded significantly in the 1970s when U.S. trade restrictions on Iran created a demand for Persian-style rugs from alternative sources. Since then, Pakistani weavers have continued to gain admiration for their refined craftsmanship and diverse design repertoire.
