{"title":"Afghan Rugs","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecently, Afghanistan became the largest producer of quality handmade rugs, which is often surprising to many of our customers. The troubles in Afghanistan often overshadow the determination of ordinary people who continue to work in this ancient craft. Weaving is now one of the country's major exports, and you should be in no doubt that the quality produced is generally of a very high standard. The weavers very often work independently or in small units. This is not a manufacturing industry. The weaving is also almost entirely done by men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe traditional methods of vegetable-dying natural wool and weaving are timeless and remain unaltered. Of course, we cannot trade directly with the weavers, so the rugs are taken across the border and finished in Pakistani workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fine-afghan-ziegler-rug-262368","title":"Fine handmade Afghan Ziegler rug - 262368","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis could be your rug if you want something completely different with minimal colours.

Each handmade rug has many classic 'Ziegler' designs and motifs. They tend to have brighter colours than the traditional 'Ziegler' carpets. The bright ' jewel-like colour' is maintained primarily by reducing the amount of washing.

The processes were developed at the weaving stage and, more crucially, extended into the finishing process, particularly the herbal washes used. The fashion was to experiment, and the early Ziegler designs were quite different from the traditional rugs and carpets of the period. The Oriental rug trade had not been used in this way before.
