10877 Fine Afghan Ziegler Small Rug 43x62cm (1.5 x 2.0½ft)

A pretty little hand-knotted Afghan pile rug from Afghanistan measuring approx 43x62cm (1.5 x 2.0½ft) - we love the soft cream background and all over design motifs in this small Afghan rug.  These small elegant and decorative handmade Afghan Rugs are known as Ziegler, Zeigler, Chobi, Garous or as Sultanabad.  Zeigler refers to the design rather than the people that weave these hand knotted rugs and carpets.

These types of rugs are re-creations of antique Oriental designs and they use wools with attractive colours and tones. Their all over antique looking floral designs (mostly) are a contrast to geometric rug patterns. 100% hand-woven by Afghan people with soft hand spun wool pile - the wool used in these rugs is often good quality, although it can vary with chinese and indian reproductions. Our Afghan Ziegler's have gorgeous soft wool quality. See more about Rug Motifs, Symbols & Meaning here.
