RUGS FROM PAKISTAN

Pakistan is one of the world's leading exporters of hand-made rugs. Since 1947, weaving flourished in Pakistan when Indian Muslims immigrated to this country. The Persian empire had a major influence on Pakistan carpet designs. By the 16th and 17th centuries, the Iranian government set up royal rug manufacturing facilities in Pakistan, resulting in massive growth of rug weaving. Rugs from this region are commonly called Pak-Persian.

Pakistan rugs are highly valued for their excellence in craftsmanship, knotting quality and perfect finish. Today's styles and patterns of Pakistan's rugs follow famous Persian designs or Turkoman and Caucasian (Bokhara) designs. The most famous designs and quality from Pakistan are Peshawar and Pak Persian 16/18 quality. These rugs have vivid colors and an antique wash; they are in high demand in the United States and European countries. Colors are primarily cream, beige and camel.
