Introducing Garous Rugs, a wonderful new collection of hand-knotted carpets crafted using all-natural dyes and
high-quality hand-spun wools. Inspired by traditional Persian designs, Garous rugs reflect the beauty of old
Persian Garous, Mahal, and Ziegler styles.
The Historical Significance of Ziegler Designs
From 1880 to 1920, the Ziegler design emerged in Mahal, Central Persia, thanks to an Anglo-Swiss company that
began producing Persian Ziegler carpets. These exquisite rugs were primarily exported to affluent Western homes
and have since become highly sought after for their decorative appeal. However, finding original Persian Ziegler
carpets in good condition can be challenging, often leading to high premiums in the market.
Reviving Tradition with Garous Rugs
In 1990, Rugs of London partnered with skilled Afghan weavers to create a new line called Garous, drawing
inspiration from the rich heritage of Garous, Mahal, and Ziegler designs. Each Garous rug is 100% hand-knotted,
using hand-spun gazani wool, which imparts a unique texture and sheen. The use of natural dyes results in subtle
color variations within each hue, enhancing the rug's visual complexity.
Design Characteristics of Garous Rugs
Garous rugs predominantly feature:
- Open All-Over Floral Designs
- Soft Color Palettes
- Faded Appearance
Value and Durability of Garous Rugs
Garous rugs offer exceptional value for hand-knotted carpets. Their quality craftsmanship ensures they will provide
many years of beauty and enjoyment in your home, making them a wise investment for any decor style.
