The Story of This Rug
Shah Abbas motifs matured in Safavid court workshops in the 17th century and form the foundation of the classic Persian garden aesthetic, linking systems of palmettes, rosettes, and swirling vines. Rugs produced by the Ziegler firm in Sultanabad in the late 19th century brought this heritage to the European market; today, Afghan weavers continue the same tradition in workshops in Mazar-i-Sharif. The choice of a red ground enhances its harmony with modern interiors.
Why Choose a One-of-a-Kind Handwoven Afghan Rug
- Each rug is made by a single weaving team; an identical piece cannot be reproduced.
- 100% Ghazni sheep’s wool resists stains thanks to its natural lanolin and develops a patina over the years.
- Unlike synthetic colors, natural root and bark dyes soften and mellow over time.
- The asymmetrical Persian knot creates a dense, durable weave.
- The natural washed finish gives the rug an antique texture and a soft hand.
Color and Pattern
On the red ground, large central palmettes are surrounded by an all-over system of rosettes and swirling vines. Madder red, golden yellow, and indigo tones bring the motifs to life, while ivory corner pieces frame the composition. A chain of palmettes and rosettes surrounds the ground in the border.
Care Recommendations
- Vacuum once a week with a low-power vacuum without a brush attachment.
- Blot spills gently with a damp white cloth; do not rub.
- Have it inspected by a professional rug cleaner every 3–4 years.
- Keep it out of direct sunlight and use a rug pad.
As a numbered original work, this rug is a one-of-a-kind piece bearing the weaver’s signature.

Protect Your Elegance
To preserve the original splendor and silky texture of Carpetdocia’s handwoven and natural-fiber creations that add value to your living space for generations, you should adopt a careful maintenance routine.
Immediate Action and Liquid Spills
When a liquid is spilled, timing is the most critical factor. Using a clean, slightly damp cloth and never rubbing, gently blot the liquid from the surface. Always work in the direction of the rug’s pile (the natural lay of the fibers). Rubbing can damage the structure of delicate fibers such as TENCEL™ and viscose. If you are unsure, stop immediately.
Routine Care and Light Balance
For your weekly cleaning routine, always use vacuum cleaners with low suction power. High-powered upright vacuum cleaners and stiff brushes can damage the natural structure of handwoven yarns. To balance the reaction of natural fibers to light and prevent localized tone differences (fading), we recommend changing the direction of your rug every 2 to 6 months.
Expert Care (Professional Cleaning)
Noble materials such as handwoven fibers, TENCEL™, viscose, and New Zealand wool should not come into contact with household chemical cleaners. These products can irreversibly damage the rug’s silky sheen and structural integrity. For deep cleaning, seek assistance only from professional rug-care centers specializing in natural fibers.
