Amritsar carpets are extremely distinctive within the production of South Asian carpets. If we go to the history as such the rug weavers were free to approach carpet design more on the basis of western needs than on their own traditions, so that carpets were from the outset well adapted to western decorative use. Amritsar rugs were generally made with a softer more earthy palette, often with a tendency to burgundy or aubergine tones. To this day they remain a superior decorative carpets by virtue of their flexible formal repertoire and coloration and still these are finly manufactured in Pakistan accounding to the same old lines.
