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 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 an ivory field, in wonderful vegetable dyed tones of ochre red and soft earth tones, framed by a rare muted green border of generous proportions; a restrained, elegant colour palette. Being a vintage example, these have had time to take on a mellow patina.

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

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