Afghan Chobi Ziegler

£275£350In stock, ready to ship

Soft Neutral Afghan Ziegler Rug – 1.52m × 0.91m (5ft 0in × 3ft 0in). Hand‑knotted in northern Afghanistan by skilled artisans, made entirely from premium hand‑spun wool – both the plush pile and sturdy base are pure wool, giving it wonderful weight, warmth and a luxuriously soft feel underfoot. This timeless piece features the classic Ziegler design: a delicate, open floral arrangement with scrolling vines and stylised blooms, rendered in soft, muted natural tones – warm gold, pale cream, buttery yellow and subtle terracotta accents, all on a luminous pale honey field. The colours are gentle, earthy and beautifully faded in appearance, created using traditional vegetable dyes that only grow richer with time. Unlike bold tribal rugs, this style is refined, calm and effortlessly versatile – designed to blend seamlessly with classic, contemporary, bohemian or minimalist interiors. Durable yet smooth, it brings light, texture and quiet elegance to entryways, living rooms, bedrooms or studies – the perfect choice if you want handmade quality with a soft, sophisticated, understated look.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 85 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 177,863 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 5 months.

How that is worked out: 59 in × 35 in × 85 knots per sq. in. ≈ 177,863 — that is 150 × 90 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.
