The Birth of Pak Persian Rugs

In the golden era of Mughals in the Indian subcontinent, art was considered the most attractive thing. Many emperors and rulers put all their focus on art. 25% of the world economy was made up of the trades going on between this royal rule with other continents. In this course, they imported many different artifacts from different areas. Persian art was dominant in every art piece. It spread its calligraphy, architecture, and the breakthrough art of carpet weaving in the Indian subcontinent. Pakistan, known for its beautiful, quality rugs, mixed the art of Persian rugs with their masterpieces to bring up a new kind of rugs called Pak Persian rugs. These area rugs are sometimes also considered a type of Oriental rugs because of their design supporting them. The art of carpet weaving emerged from the region of Persia but now has made its place in certain cultures. Persian art is known for its originality and artistic pieces. These pieces when met with the high-quality wool of Pakistan, previously subcontinent, created even beautiful handcrafted lush patterns. These masterpieces then made their place in the palaces and other royal palaces. These mixed rugs used to be a symbol of wealth in older times.

The Mughal Empire transported Persian artisans to local cities and villages — namely, Lahore. They adapted the techniques used in this part of the subcontinent to improve their designs. The classic design was learned by many artisans and hence these rugs were obtained. The most recent form of these area rugs is obtained by years of research and applying of more recent techniques of Lahore rug makers. These art pieces used high-quality, organically dyed wool to create beautiful designs. The coloring of these rugs was also changed as more colors were added to the palette by local artists. The classic rich and saturated tones also added muted pastel accents to these colors and patterns. These ancient area rug designs are fading every day.

Either they are turning into a cheaper version of these rugs or are not preferred due to new raw machined pieces that are easy to get their hands on. Persian rugs combined with Pakistani rugs are a perfect combination that is becoming very rare as the new artists mostly don't have the ability to create those art pieces. It's either that or they don't learn it. This is due to the fact that they are detailed and need more time when handmade. RugKnots not only preserves but treasures this ancient art of the Pak Persian Collection. This collection is honored at RugKnots and is one of the bestsellers in the racks.

Choosing the Right Pak Persian Rug for Your Space

Depending on the style of your home and how many decors you have, it can be difficult to choose the right Persian Rug for your home. We recommend first assessing the style of the room. For example, is your space traditional, modern, modern-farmhouse, bohemian, minimalistic, or another style? Once you have a pretty good understanding of the type of room you want to put a rug into, you can move towards choosing the right rug. A traditional room can always use this rug to compliment the other parts of the room. If you have more modern decor, you may want to choose a more neutral color than red. Blues, tans, browns, and blacks are all great colors for modern rooms. For a more modern style, you would also want to choose a smaller-sized Persian rug. Perhaps instead of placing all your furniture on the rug, you can put half of it on the rug. This will allow the rug to flow nicely with your other decor without taking your entire space. For a traditional room, a large rug looks better. This is because larger rugs are more highlighted in such rooms. Most oriental rugs have a district design and can include patterns like a centered, symmetrical medallion.

So the Pak Persian rugs are good if used as a prayer rug as they mostly look like Persian rugs. They are mostly purchased for this purpose. You can also use these rugs to layer upon plain background rugs.
