6x9 Peshawar Pakistan Unique Green Orange Gold Red

Peshawar rugs are woven in northern Pakistan, very close to the Afghan border. The region is not, however, a traditional rug producing center. Part of the reason it has become one, and it has, is the political situation in Afghanistan since September 11, 2001. Nearly all Afghan rugs, for example, are produced in Peshawar. That is, they are washed, clipped, stretched, and finished to ready them for final sale. Afghan weavers who have lived and worked in Pakistan for the last several years, however, are beginning to return home. It will clearly take some years to re-establish in Kabul what is up and running in Peshawar today.
