Quality
With a density of approximately 100 knots per square inch (KPSI), this rug offers excellent durability while maintaining a comfortable, natural texture. The pile is made from Ghazni handspun wool, a fiber prized for its strength, softness, and ability to age beautifully over time. This wool contains natural lanolin, helping the rug resist wear and maintain its richness for years. The cotton foundation provides structural stability, ensuring the rug holds its shape even in frequently used spaces.
Origin & Tradition
This rug is handwoven in Ghazni, Afghanistan, a region renowned for producing some of the finest Afghan wool and traditional carpets. The Ziegler design traces its roots to the late 19th century, when Persian-inspired floral patterns were reinterpreted with softer palettes and more open compositions. Afghan artisans have continued this tradition, blending classical Persian aesthetics with their own weaving heritage. The result is a rug that honors centuries of craftsmanship while fitting beautifully into contemporary homes.
