AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This rug can be identified as a Chobi (also known as Ziegler or Peshawar), a relatively modern production born in Pakistan and Afghanistan for the Western market, inspired by ancient Persian carpets but reinterpreted in a contemporary key.
It features an all-over design with stylized floral motifs and arabesques, devoid of a central medallion. Its distinctive feature is the palette of soft, natural colors: the field in beige/ivory/gray-green is paired with brick-red, ochre and powder blue motifs, obtained with vegetable dyes that create a deliberately antiqued effect (abrash). The main brick-red border contrasts and completes the elegant and sober design, ideal for modern furnishings.
With generous dimensions (302x241 cm, ~7.3 m²), its value is influenced by:
Quality of materials: Use of hand-spun wool and vegetable dyes (non-synthetic).
Condition: Excellent preserved in a suitable place
Manufacturing: The knot density is good and regular, typical of this production.
The features described above place it in the mid-range for this style, considering the good workmanship, quality materials, and notable dimensions. A versatile and sought-after design piece.
