Afghan modern Ziegler hand-knotted wool rugs trace their origins to the Anglo-Swiss company Ziegler & Co. In the late 19th century, the company began developing finer Persian-style rugs with cleaner designs in the Arak region of Iran. Today, artisans make modern Ziegler rugs in Afghanistan using high-quality wool and traditional hand-knotting techniques. Their soft natural colours and elegantly simplified patterns complement both modern and classic interiors. Plant-based dyes create balanced, harmonious shades. As a result, every rug offers a timeless and distinctive appearance.
