Afghan Ziegler Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 200 x 123 cm
Afghan Ziegler Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 200 x 123 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
Two pale oval medallions seem to float across a field of softened olive beige. Around them, delicate vines, small rosettes and floral forms appear almost weightless, their ivory outlines touched with muted gold, soft brown and the faintest blush. A broad pale border opens the composition further, giving the pattern an airy, collected elegance.
Look beneath that calm surface and the handwork becomes the story. The pure wool pile, knotted in Afghanistan, carries subtle shifts of tone and line that give the pale design visible depth. This is Ziegler patterning at its most understated: quiet in colour, rich in detail.

Care & Maintenance
- Hand-knotted wool rugs are made to last with the right care. Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting, rotate the rug occasionally for even wear, and blot any marks promptly with a clean cloth rather than rubbing.
- For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended to help protect the wool fibres, natural dyes and hand-knotted structure of the rug.
Note
- Each rug is professionally photographed to represent its colours as accurately as possible, while natural light, pile direction and digital display settings may create subtle variations in tone.
- Where additional colour is required, the wool in our hand-knotted rugs is coloured exclusively with vegetable dyes, complementing the fibre’s natural tonal variation and the individual character of the weave.
- Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
