Story Behind the Art: Hand-knotted rugs are Pakistan's second-largest cottage and small industry. The tradition began as early as the 11th century under Mughal rule. Craftsmen can produce any type of rug using popular motifs like guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), traceries, and geometric designs in various combinations. The Pak Persian rugs are known for their high quality, defined by a 16 by 18 KPSI count yielding over 288 KPSI, making them dense and durable for high-traffic areas. Initially produced to fill a void left when the US stopped trading with Iran in the 1970s, these rugs have grown in popularity due to their superior weaving and wide array of design choices.
