£950£1,250In stock, ready to ship

Hand-knotted in Northern Afghanistan, this elegant Royal Zigler measures 236 cm × 153 cm and glows with beautifully warm, muted tones. A rich honey-gold field carries delicately drawn flowers and vines, softly shaded in cream, ivory and pale terracotta — framed by a refined multi-tier border that brings gentle definition and graceful symmetry. Woven from premium hand-spun wool with a dense, velvety pile, it carries the signature understated luxury of Royal Zigler design — calm, timeless and effortlessly versatile.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 170 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 951,448 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 6 months.

How that is worked out: 93 in × 60 in × 170 knots per sq. in. ≈ 951,448 — that is 236 × 153 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.
