12' x 16'3" Pakistani Peshawar Oriental Rug - Hand Made - 100% Wool - Veg Dye
This gorgeous Oriental rug is a 12' x 16'3" Pakistani Peshawar with a dark brown background, circa 2020s. This hand knotted Pakistani rug is made with 100% wool using vegetable dye, has a full pile and is in good condition. Carpet weaving was introduced into the area of present-day Pakistan as far back as the Mughal Empire in the early sixteenth century. Under the patronage of the Mughals, Indian craftsmen adopted Persian techniques and designs. Carpets woven in the Punjab at that time (often called Lahore carpets today) made use of motifs and decorative styles found in Mughal architecture. During the Mughal period, the carpets made on the Indian subcontinent became so famous that demand for them spread abroad. The carpets woven in Lahore were the first to reach European markets, including England, as far back as Seventeenth century.
