Carpet weaving was introduced into the area of present-day Pakistan as far back as the Mughal Empire in the early sixteenth century. Under the patronage of the Mughals, Indian craftsmen adopted Persian techniques and designs. Carpets woven in the Punjab at that time (often called Lahore carpets today) made use of motifs and decorative styles found in Mughal architecture. During the Mughal period, the carpets made on the Indian subcontinent became so famous that demand for them spread abroad.
