Classic Afghan Craftsmanship – Elegant Zigler Floral Motif
Experience the timeless elegance of Afghan weaving with this handmade vintage Afghan Zigler rug, crafted in the 1980s. Inspired by Persian Sultanabad and Mahal traditions, Zigler rugs are celebrated for their floral symmetry, soft color palette, and harmonious proportions — making them ideal for refined, traditional, or transitional interiors.
This particular piece features a balanced all-over floral design in warm earth tones on a rich terracotta-red field, showcasing the fine craftsmanship and cultural heritage of Afghan weavers.
Floral Beauty in Soft, Muted Tones
The rug’s field is adorned with interconnected scrolling vines, stylized floral palmettes, and symmetrical botanical motifs, all framed by a beautifully detailed wide border. The central field’s subtle abrashed tones—ranging from warm rust to soft beige and muted greens—create visual movement and depth.
The detailed border echoes the floral pattern with repeated blossoms and leaves in complementary tones, offering a grounded frame to the overall design. The rug is knotted in 100% wool on a cotton foundation, giving it both durability and a soft, luxurious feel underfoot.
