Story Behind the Art: Pakistan's hand-knotted rug industry, the country's second-largest cottage and small-scale sector, has its roots dating back to the 11th century during the Mughal era. Skilled artisans possess the capability to create a wide range of rugs, incorporating popular motifs such as guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), traceries, and geometric patterns in various combinations. Notably, they employ "stone washes"" to gently fade and soften colors. The Peshawar style stands out with its thinly sheared pile, expansive printed designs, and, most notably, its antique ivory and occasionally golden hues, adding a distinct character to these exquisite rugs."
