Peshawar-tradition hand knotted rugs are known for their muted, naturally dyed palette and soft, open feel - the style uses Afghan wool with Persian-influenced designs that are distinctive from both Agra and Turkish production. The Iris Peshawar in Multicolor is hand knotted at 8x10, with a beige field and a traditional multicolor pattern that carries the characteristic Peshawar softness in its color presentation. At 8 by 10 feet, this rug fills most standard living room seating arrangements and large bedrooms with comfortable coverage on all sides of the furniture. The beige ground and muted palette work as a backdrop for bolder furnishing choices without competing for visual attention. Hand knotted wool Peshawar rugs develop a characteristic luster over time - they improve with age and use rather than simply wearing down. Rotate annually and have it professionally cleaned every three to five years. Vacuum regularly and spot clean with mild soap and cold water to keep it looking its best. A quality area rug that ties the whole room together.
