10' x 13'5" Peshawar Oushak Rug | Chobi Ziegler All-Over Floral | Ivory, Beige & Rust | New Wool

This is a Chobi Ziegler weaving from Peshawar in the pale, sun-softened palette that keeps this style in demand: an ivory and beige field drawn end to end with rust vine work, gold rosettes and quiet green leaves. It is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, brand new and never walked on, and the washed hand-spun yarn already carries the low sheen that makes these pieces read as older than they are. At 10 feet wide it holds a full sofa and chair group with the front legs on, and it remains one of the most liveable proportions among 10x13 Oriental rugs. A certificate of authenticity is issued with the rug.

Design and Motifs

The field is built on a slender rust ogee lattice that repeats up the length of the rug with no medallion to anchor it, a true all-over floral design that can be turned or cropped by furniture without losing its logic. Inside the lattice sit large feathered saz leaves with curling tips, split palmettes, ringed rosettes with 8 and 10 petal counts, and small vase forms with sprays rising from them. Behind all of it runs a fine ivory tendril ground filled with tiny leaves and buds, which is what gives the rug its depth at close range. The border system has 5 bands: a rust ground main border of leaf and flower vine, a wide ivory secondary band of separated flowering plant panels divided by reciprocal diamond stripes, and narrow gold and cream guard stripes on either side. The plain outer edge and the clean white cotton fringe finish it without fuss.

A Pale Ivory Field with Rust, Gold and Green

The ground reads as parchment ivory shading into warm beige and sand, with a gentle abrash that lightens and deepens in bands across the width, a natural sign of small dye lots of hand-spun wool. The drawing sits in a muted brick rust that drops to terracotta, coral and dusty salmon depending on the wash, and it never becomes loud against the pale ground. Soft antique gold fills many of the rosette centers and the guard stripes, while sage and olive green appear in the leaves and in a few palmette hearts, cooling the warmth just enough. Gray-taupe accents carry the botanical panels in the wide border, and chalk white outlines lift the smaller buds so the field never flattens. The overall effect is a neutral, low-contrast rug that works with oatmeal, cream, walnut and aged leather, and holds its own against both painted white trim and darker wood floors.

Peshawar Weaving and the Ziegler Oushak Tradition

Peshawar is today one of the strongest weaving centers for this kind of work, and the Chobi Ziegler group is its best known output: hand-spun wool, plant-based dyes, a light chemical-free wash, and drawing borrowed from the 19th century Ziegler commissions and the older Oushak vocabulary of open fields and big, generous leaves. The knots here are even, the selvedges are tight, and the pile is clipped at a medium height that lets the fine tendril work stay legible while giving the rug real body underfoot. Wool of this type takes foot traffic well and burnishes rather than matting, which is why a new piece like this is a reasonable buy for a main room rather than a decorative one.

Honest origin, plainly stated: made in Pakistan, woven by hand, and in perfect condition.
