Afghan Ziegler Shaal hand-knotted wool rugs bring the refinement of Eastern rug traditions into the home. Their traditional shawl-inspired motifs and soft, natural colours create a balanced and timeless look. The Ziegler style was originally developed by Ziegler & Co., an Anglo-Swiss company, in the Arak region of Iran during the 1870s. Skilled artisans make these rugs from soft, high-quality wool using traditional hand-knotting techniques. This careful craftsmanship gives each rug excellent durability and lasting value. Today, Ziegler rugs are also produced in Afghanistan, where they are often known as Chobi rugs. The name refers to their subtle natural shades, traditionally created with plant-based dyes. Their refined colours and harmonious patterns work well in both modern and classic interiors.
