9'2" x 12' Ziegler Chobi Peshawar Rug | Beige & Gold All-Over Floral | Brand New, Never Used

This is the quiet, decorator-friendly end of hand-knotted weaving: a brand new Ziegler Chobi from Peshawar, woven in natural wool on a cotton foundation, with a softly toned beige field carrying rust and gold blossoms and a wide gold border. The scale is generous without shouting, which is exactly why the 9x12 rug format is the workhorse of American rooms: it takes a full seating group or a 10 chair dining table with margin to spare. The pile is thick and springy underfoot, the knotting is even edge to edge, and the selvages and hand-tied fringe are clean and untouched, since the rug has never been on a floor. Every rug we sell ships with a certificate of authenticity confirming that it is genuinely hand-knotted, along with its origin, materials and measurements.

Design and Motifs

There is no central medallion here. The field carries an all-over floral design built from large serrated star rosettes, broad palmettes, small 8 petal flower heads and squared cartouche motifs, all linked by a thin trailing vine that wanders rather than repeats mechanically. The drawing is deliberately loose and slightly angular, the Ziegler signature: shapes are outlined in a single contrasting line so the pattern reads as drawing rather than as solid blocks of color. Two narrow guard stripes filled with small arrow-like hooks frame a wide main border of paired leaf sprays and vase-and-flower groups, and the 4 corners resolve cleanly where the border turns. Close up, as in the detail photos, you can see how the weavers alternated rust rosettes with gold ones across the field so the eye keeps moving over the 12 foot length.

A Beige Field with Gold, Rust and Soft Green

The ground is a warm sandy beige that shifts toward cream in raking light and toward pale honey where the pile lies the other way. Against it the flowers are drawn in terracotta rust and a softer salmon coral, with mustard gold palmettes and rosette centers that pick up the border. Those muted sage and olive green accents sit inside the rosette cores and in the small leaves, giving the palette depth without introducing a hard color. The main border is a deeper saffron gold, edged in coral, with ivory and pale taupe motifs, so the frame is warmer and stronger than the field it surrounds. Nothing in this rug is saturated, which is the point: it is a low contrast, tonal piece that sits comfortably with oak, walnut, linen and plaster walls, and it is one of the easier beige and ivory rugs to build a room around.

Woven in Peshawar, Pakistan

Peshawar, in northwest Pakistan, is the center for Ziegler and Chobi weaving, and the workshops there have spent decades refining this one look: hand-spun wool, soft plant-based dye tones, a full-bodied pile and an open, airy version of the 19th century all-over floral style that was first developed for Western interiors. Chobi weaving is judged less by raw knot count than by wool quality and the evenness of the field, and both are good here. The back, visible in the final photograph with its Genuine Hand Woven Oriental Rug tag, shows a straight, regular grid on a cotton warp, with the pattern reading clearly through to the reverse.
