Characteristics of Peshawar Rugs (Also known as Chobi Rugs and Ziegler Rugs)

As with most types of oriental rugs, Peshawar rugs are named after the region they are woven in – (in this particular case Peshawar, the ninth largest city in Pakistan). Located on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan, in early days Peshawar was a significant commerce and trade center in the region. Today, it is renowned worldwide for the fabulous rugs that are created there and exported all over the world.

Peshawar rugs are hand knotted rugs that are usually created using locally spun wool. The pile of these rugs is usually made of wool, with silk being used to accentuate motifs occasionally. The weft and warp of the rugs are generally made of cotton.

The tribal weavers use only dyes from plants and vegetables that are native to the region. The two distinctive shades of Peshawar rugs are golden and ivory. The choice of colors gives the rugs their distinctive antique appearance and the weaving techniques give the finished rugs that subtle variation in shades that is characteristic of Peshawar rugs. The finished product is a majestic execution of faultless design and a stunningly understated palette.
