🌹 The Prestige of Peshawar — Hand-Knotted Oriental Wool Rug with Floral Medallion Design

Peshawar rugs occupy a special position in the world of contemporary Oriental rug production. Made by skilled weavers in and around the city of Peshawar in northwestern Pakistan — the ancient gateway between Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent — Peshawar rugs are celebrated for their exceptional hand-knotting quality, their use of 100% natural wool, and their interpretation of classic Persian design vocabularies in lush, large-format pieces built to the highest standard of traditional craft. This large hand-knotted Peshawar in a rich floral medallion design is a superb example of the tradition. 🌿

🧵 Hand-Knotted in Peshawar — 100% Natural Wool

The natural wool pile is full and vibrant with excellent pile depth. Professionally cleaned and individually inspected. ✨

🎨 Floral Medallion Design

The design presents the classic central medallion composition of the Persian formal tradition — a strong central medallion surrounded by arabesque and scrolling floral vine work, enclosed within multiple border bands, in a palette of rich burgundy red and cream with accent tones. The floral vocabulary is rendered with the precision and density characteristic of Peshawar production at its finest. 🌹

🌍 The Peshawar Rug Tradition

Peshawar has been a center of rug production since at least the late 19th century, when Afghan refugee weavers established workshops in the region. By the late 20th century, Peshawar had become one of the most respected names in world Oriental rug production, known particularly for large-format pieces in natural wool that replicate the formal Persian tradition with exceptional skill. Major interior design projects worldwide specify Peshawar rugs for their combination of quality, authenticity, and scale. 🌐
