Peshawar rugs are hand-knotted rugs primarily produced in the Peshawar region of Pakistan. Their origins and manufacturing techniques were brought by immigrants from Afghanistan, blending traditional Afghan weaving methods with patterns inspired by Persian rug designs.
These rugs are characterized by their antique-style finish and subdued color tones. Particularly since the 20th century, they have gained popularity in international markets.
Peshawar rugs feature antique-inspired designs and natural color tones, especially favored in beige, ivory, and muted shades. These tones are hand-dyed natural hues that impart warmth and traditional beauty to the rugs.
High-quality hand-spun wool is the primary material used, sometimes complemented by silk. This adds softness and luster to the rugs.
Carefully hand-knotted Peshawar rugs undergo a stone-washing process, resulting in a unique texture and natural sheen. This process also enhances the durability of the rugs.
