Afghan Chobi is another name for Afghan Zieglers, inspired by William Morris. The colours and designs are the same. Chobi means 'wood', and they have tried to create the natural colour of 'antique' wood.  

Many people are curious about the William Morris connection; Ziegler worked collaboratively with William Morris, taking his designs into Persia and securing weavers in Tabriz and Sultanabad to produce fine examples of traditionally made carpets that were specifically produced for the export market into booming Victorian Britain. The processes were developed at the weaving stage and extended into finishing, particularly the herbal washes used. The fashion was to experiment at the time, and the early Ziegler designs were quite different from other traditional rugs and carpets of this period. The Oriental rug trade had not been used in this way before. In many ways, the pioneering techniques used by Ziegler & Co have been part of the inspiration behind some of the newly designed pieces from Afghan weavers' designs, like the Samarkand and Mamluks.
