Commissioned by the Manchester-based firm Ziegler & Co., Ziegler carpets were originally crafted in Western Persia 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 among interior designers, for both traditional and contemporary spaces.

This elegant contemporary example, handwoven with high-grade vegetable dyes, represents a modern reimagining of the much admired Ziegler Sultanabad carpets of the 19th Century. It features an all-over scolling design against a muted sea green field, framed by a soft ivory border of generous proportions.

In very good practical condition for everyday use, and in a highly unusual long format.

An understated example with the versatility to blend in with a variety of interiors.
