8' x 10' Chobi Ziegler Oriental Rug | Ivory All-Over Floral | Brand New, Never Used

This is a brand new, never used hand-knotted Chobi in the Ziegler manner, and it is the quiet kind of room rug that decorators keep coming back to: an ivory to sand field covered in softly drawn flowers, framed by a camel and gold border, with no loud contrast anywhere in it. The pile is wool at 5/16", clipped low and even so the drawing stays crisp, and the back shown in the photographs reveals a tidy, regular knot line on a cotton foundation. At 8 feet by 10 feet it sits in the most useful footprint we sell, and buyers shopping 8x10 Oriental rugs will find this one unusually easy to live with because the palette works with warm woods, grey floors and white walls alike. Every rug we ship, including this one, comes with a certificate of authenticity confirming it is genuine hand-knotted work.

Design and Motifs

There is no central medallion here. Instead the weavers used a repeating all-over floral design built from large shield-shaped palmettes, 8 petal rosettes and long serrated leaves, all linked by a thin meandering vine that travels the full length of the field. Four big palmettes anchor the upper and lower thirds of the rug, each one outlined in a thread of rust that reads almost like a pen line against the pale ground, and the close-up photographs show those small rust centers repeated through the smaller rosettes as well. The framing is a triple border: a wide main band of paired blossoms and leaf sprays, with a narrow geometric guard stripe on either side, plus an inner dividing line that gives the field a clean edge. The corners are resolved properly, with the border pattern turning rather than running off, which is a detail you only get when the drawing is followed carefully on the loom.

A Neutral Palette of Ivory, Camel and Soft Gold

The field is an ivory cream that warms toward wheat and sand in the lower half, and against it the flowers are drawn in camel, honey gold, biscuit and a mushroom taupe that carries a faint grey cast under daylight. The main border shifts a shade deeper into dusty gold and light bronze, so the frame reads as a soft halo rather than a hard outline. The only true color accents are the thin rust and terracotta outlines inside the palmettes and rosettes, a touch of paprika no wider than a few knots that keeps the whole surface from going flat. Very light tonal striping runs horizontally through the field, the natural variation you expect from hand-dyed wool, and it gives the rug depth instead of a printed look. If the room calls for calm, this belongs with our other ivory and beige rugs, and the wool takes light beautifully, turning more golden in late afternoon sun.

Woven in Pakistan: Chobi Ziegler Weaving Quality

This piece is honestly made in Pakistan, where the Chobi and Ziegler weaving groups have become the benchmark for muted, hand-knotted decorative work. The method is traditional throughout: hand-spun wool knotted row by row onto a cotton warp and weft, then washed and shorn to a low 5/16" pile so the pattern stays legible. The photographs of the folded back show straight, consistent knot rows and a firm handle, with flat-woven ends and a neat overcast selvage, all signs of a workshop that controls its tension rather than rushing the loom. Shoppers comparing this to a court-woven piece should read our guide on what separates a Oriental rug from the finer city weaves, because the value proposition here is different and very strong: real hand-knotted wool, 80 square feet of it, in a palette that will still look right in twenty years.
