Commissioned by the Manchester-based firm Ziegler & Co., Ziegler carpets were originally crafted in Sultanabad (modern-day Arak) to cater to Western tastes, blending traditional Persian motifs with European design sensibilities. The result was a series of rugs characterized by grand scale patterns, subtle color palettes, and exceptional craftsmanship – these pieces can be found in historic homes across Europe and the UK, and continue to be highly sought after for both traditional and contemporary interiors

This fine vintage example represents a modern reimagining of the much admired Ziegler Sultanabad carpets of the 19th Century, finely hand-woven in high-grade wool, lending a crisp clarity to its drawing. It features grand-scale designs are worked over a rare, understated olive green field, in wonderful vegetable dyed tones of muted duck egg blue, ivory, and terracotta, framed by a wide, pale border, with touches of muted saffron.

In very good condiition for everyday use – its colours have taken on a mild and characterful patina with age.

A stylish example with the versatility to blend in with a variety of interiors.
