The surrounding countries have had a tremendous impact on Pakistan and the result is a blending of Persian, Caucasian and Turkish designs.  In contemporary Pakistan, carpet weaving has remained mainly a cottage industry with the great majority of pieces manufactured in individual dwellings, which may contain several looms.  Today, rugs are woven with high-quality blends of indigenous and imported wool.  Approximately 70% of the weaving is done within a 400-mile radius of Lahore, the capital of Punjab province. Karachi, the capital of the Sind province, represents some 20% of the total output.  The areas around the cities of Quetta and Peshawar generated the remaining 10%.  By far the most readily available quality of Pakistani Persian-design carpets today is the so-called 16\/18, which is roughly equivalent to 288 knots per square inch. Pakistani 16\/18 weavers generally concentrate on reproducing the more intricate Persian patterns – namely Kashan, Tabriz, Nain, and Isfahan – which require a greater number of knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil the 1970s, Pakistan had predominantly woven Bokharas characterized by a repetitive octagonal or gul motif, which is based on a traditional Central Asia Turkoman design.  Today Bokharas still account for a significant portion of the total production and are available in two styles: Mori and Jaldar. Mori Bokharas feature the traditional gul motif and come in a broad array of colors – including traditional hues (e.g., reds, rusts and ivories), pastels, and fashion shades (e.g., peach, coral, gray). More recent was the development of Jaldar Bokharas generally displaying geometric, contemporary-style designs as well as motifs based on nomadic Caucasian sources.  Jaldar Bokharas range from 162 to 200 knots per square inch. Bokharas come in a full assortment of sizes ranging from one-foot square to room sizes and runners.  Persian-design carpets are also found in other qualities ranging from about 195 to 324 knots per square inch, but the latter knots count quality only exists in smaller-sized rugs of 4’x6’ and below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor any further questions please call us at: (250) 480-7114\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePakistan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eArticles \u0026amp; Videos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pakistan\"\u003eWikipedia Entry (Article)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.lawsofpakistan.com\/pakistan-carpet-weaving-historical-overview\/\"\u003eHistorical Overview (Article)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6WJn4XbC5-Y\"\u003eDocumentary (Video)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bms-ihQ7lkA\"\u003eProduction (Video)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JgUaYuHoQ2M\"\u003eLandscapes \u0026amp; Nature (Video)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babak's Oriental Carpets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45040425664690,"sku":"25064","price":199.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/files\/IMG_7957_-_Copy.jpg?v=1767464431","url":"https:\/\/www.babaksorientalcarpets.com\/products\/25064-bokhara-hand-knotted-handmade-pakistani-rug-carpet-tribal-nomadic-authentic-size-32-x-20","provider":"Babak's Oriental Carpets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
