Afghan Royal Ziegler

£995£1,295In stock, ready to ship

A truly magnificent Afghan Royal Ziegler, masterfully hand-knotted in Northern Afghanistan — a breathtaking centrepiece that commands attention with grace, warmth, and timeless beauty. At 230 cm × 169 cm, this perfectly proportioned rug brings instant presence and grandeur to living rooms, dining spaces, or principal bedrooms. A rich, luminous deep crimson field bursts with gracefully drawn peonies, blossoms, and winding vines — rendered in glowing ivory, warm cream, and soft honey gold. Every flower and scroll is woven with exquisite balance, creating a vibrant yet harmonious design that feels both opulent and welcoming. The colours are deep and saturated, yet wonderfully soft — lending a warm, inviting atmosphere to any room. A wide, multi-tier border frames the field in glowing ivory and cream, intricately detailed with complementary floral and foliate motifs that echo the central design — bringing perfect symmetry and definition from every angle. The palette is exceptionally versatile: rich enough to anchor spacious traditional rooms, striking enough to stand out in contemporary settings, and warm enough to make any space feel instantly home. Woven from the finest premium hand-spun wool, the pile is luxuriously dense, velvety, and wonderfully soft underfoot — yet robust and resilient, crafted to be enjoyed for generations. This is more than a floor covering — it is a testament to enduring craftsmanship. With its generous dimensions, rich red and ivory palette, and unmistakable handwoven quality, it brings effortless warmth, colour, and timeless grandeur to any home — a piece that will only grow more cherished with the years.

Look closer

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 150 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 903,729 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 3 months.

How that is worked out: 91 in × 67 in × 150 knots per sq. in. ≈ 903,729 — that is 230 × 169 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.

Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.

The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
