Peshawar rugs are hand-woven carpets produced primarily in the Peshawar region of Pakistan. Their origins and manufacturing techniques were brought over by immigrants from Afghanistan and combine traditional Afghan weaving techniques with patterns inspired by Persian carpet designs.

These rugs, characterised by their antique finish and muted colours, have become popular on the international market, especially since the 20th century.

Peshawar rugs are characterised by their antique designs and natural colours, especially beige, ivory and muted tones, which are hand dyed in natural hues that give the rugs a warm and traditional beauty.

High quality, hand spun wool is the primary material used, sometimes with the addition of silk, which gives the rug its softness and lustre.

Meticulously knotted by hand, Peshawar rugs are stone washed to give them a unique texture and natural sheen, a process that also makes the rugs more durable.
