Ziegler Sultanabad carpets such as this example were originally commissioned in Persia for the Western market during the late 19^th Century, to complement European furnishing tastes.  Their unique, grand larger scale drawing, quiet formality and understated colours have made them sought-after pieces in stylish homes across the UK and Europe.

This piece is a handsome contemporary Ziegler Sultanabad carpet, finely woven in short pile, with lustrous wool and vegetable-dyed colours. The subtle sky-blue field works to bring out the richness of the grand-scale drawing, in tones of green, ivory, terracotta, and with bold red accents, all framed by a wide border.

A particularly attractive feature in this carpet is the uniformity of colour between the central field and the outer border, rather than the contrast that one might expect from more traditional pieces, lending a contemporary twist to a classic design.

A timeless example, to compliment a variety of settings.
