Afghan Royal Ziegler

£1,125£1,350In stock, ready to ship

A truly magnificent Afghan Chobi Royal Ziegler, masterfully hand-knotted by skilled artisans in Northern Afghanistan — a carpet that embodies quiet luxury, timeless grace, and enduring craftsmanship. At an impressive 255 cm × 179 cm, this is a generously proportioned piece, perfectly suited to anchor a living room, dining space, or principal bedroom with effortless presence and warmth. The field unfolds in luminous soft ivory and warm cream — a serene, welcoming canvas that brings instant light and spaciousness to any room. Gracefully drawn flowers, scrolling vines and delicate garlands flow across the design in a beautifully balanced, traditional composition, rendered in gentle hues of pale sage green, muted sky blue, warm honey, and soft terracotta. Every motif is finely detailed yet understated — the colours softly faded to a vintage patina that feels collected and cherished, never harsh or loud. A wide, calming border frames the field in complementary sage and blue tones, layered with subtle floral elements that echo the central design — creating a sense of harmony and completeness from every angle. The palette is exceptionally versatile: soft enough to lift pale interiors, warm enough to enrich traditional spaces, and refined enough to sit beautifully alongside both antique and modern furniture. Woven from the finest premium hand-spun wool, the pile is luxuriously dense, deep and velvety — incredibly soft and inviting underfoot, yet robust and resilient, built to grace your home for generations. This is more than a floor covering — it is a statement of refined taste. With its generous dimensions, soothing neutral palette, and unmistakable handwoven quality, it brings effortless warmth, spaciousness and quiet grandeur to any home — a piece that will only grow more beautiful with the years.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 170 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 1,202,748 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 6 months.

How that is worked out: 100 in × 70 in × 170 knots per sq. in. ≈ 1,202,748 — that is 255 × 179 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.
