Ziegler Pakistani Rug 122 × 174 cm, Wool, hand-woven

The piece in short

Hand-woven in Pakistan: a Ziegler of 122 × 174 cm. That is roughly 2.12 m² of floor, about 4' × 5.7'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-woven. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Where it fits

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Weave

As a flatweave this piece has no pile: front and back carry the same pattern, and it lies very flat.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
