Story Behind the Art: The art of hand knotted rug weaving in Pakistan dates back to the 11th century, flourishing under the Mughal Empire's cultural and artistic influence. Over generations, it has evolved into one of the nation's most important traditional crafts—now recognized as Pakistan's second-largest cottage and small-scale industry. Pakistani weavers are celebrated for their remarkable versatility, skillfully blending classic motifs such as guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), traceries, and geometric patterns into harmonious and creative compositions. Among Pakistan's most distinguished styles, the Peshawar rug stands out for its thinly sheared pile, bold, large-scale motifs, and signature antique ivory and golden tones that exude timeless warmth. These rugs are often treated with a stone-wash finish, softly muting the colors to create a beautifully aged, vintage patina. Renowned for their durability, grace, and subtle sophistication, Peshawar rugs embody the enduring legacy of Pakistani weaving artistry, admired globally for their refined beauty and timeless charm.
