10883 Fine Afghan Ziegler Small Rug 42x60cm (1.4½ x 1.11½ft)

Small hand-knotted Afghan pile rug from Afghanistan measuring approx 42x60cm (1.4½ x 1.11½ft) - we love the complex design within the terracotta background in this cute little 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.
