Handmade Ziegler Rug 96 x 60 cm - Afghanistan
Hand-knotted Ziegler in wool, 96 × 60 cm: brick red, ochre and yellow scrolls and palmettes cover a beige to cream field, with no central medallion; wide orange-red border with a garland of pale flowers and leaves, touches of pale blue and light fringes.
A dark walnut floor supports the cream of the field; an off-white wall or linen curtains let the orange-red border set the tone, and an ochre cushion echoes the palmettes. It can be placed as a bedside rug, in an entrance hall or in front of a fireplace. Its wool follows the daily traffic of a living space.

Caring for your rug
1Turn it every six months
- Even wear: walkways do not wear out too soon.
- Colour protection: limits UV fading and the oxidation of natural dyes.
- Longevity: a handmade rug that is turned regularly lasts 50 to 100 years without losing its beauty.
2Removing a stain with Marseille soap
No chemicals, in three steps.
- Absorb the excess. For a liquid, gently scrape with a spoon, without rubbing or spreading the stain.
- Apply the soap. Dip a bar of Marseille soap in lukewarm water, rub the stain with circular movements and leave it for 5 minutes.
- Rinse and dry. Wipe with a cloth dampened with clean water, then raise the rug on a chair so it dries in the open air. A fan speeds things up; never direct sunlight.
Never use: abrasive sponges or hard brushes, bleach or ammonia. They destroy the fibres and the dyes.
3Drying, the key against mould and moths
A rug that is not dried properly develops a musty smell, white mineral stains and distortions, and attracts dust mites and moths.
- Dry it flat or raised, never folded.
- Air both sides of the rug.
- Leave no moisture behind; use a dryer or a fan if needed.

A handmade rug never dies
No need to worry with a handmade piece: everything can be repaired. A knot can be retied, a fringe rewoven, a border restored. A rug can even be brought back to life ten, thirty or fifty years after it was bought.
With simple care, this one will last for years and be passed on.
For anything beyond everyday care (deep cleaning, repair, restoration), we will be there, even years after your purchase. +33 9 83 89 37 22 or write to us.
Prevents the rug from slipping, protects hardwood floors, and can be cut to size.
The Ziegler rug
Le Ziegler, aussi appelé Chobie, est né à la fin du XIXe siècle, quand la compagnie Ziegler, basée en Allemagne et active à Manchester, fit nouer à Sultanabad (l'actuelle Arak, en Iran) des tapis pensés pour les intérieurs occidentaux. Les nôtres sont noués main en Afghanistan, en laine, et se reconnaissent à leur dessin floral allégé et à leurs teintes douces, souvent beiges.
