Antique Sultanabad by Zeigler & Co.
About the Item
The city of Sultanabad (which is now known as Arak) was founded in the early 1800's as a center for commercial rug production in Iran. During the late 19th century, the firm of Hotz & Son & Ziegler & Co. established a manufactory whose sole objective was to produce rugs to meet the western demands. They even brought over western designers to confirm the western tastes of the time. This was the first instance of a hands-on western influence in the industry (which until this point was sheltered from western insights). The large scale, all over design, and use of western color palettes are all characteristics of trends that have been influenced by Zieglers & many even attribute this style with the initial formation of the Arts & Crafts movement. The term Sultanabad has come to distinguish the oldest and highest quality Mahal carpets which were produced in the Arak region. Sultanabad rugs were made in the same area as the earliest Farahans and Sarouks, but they are very different. Ultimately, they share a common classical Persian repertoire of floral motifs, whether they utilize medallion or overall designs of vinescrolls and palmettes. However, Sultanabad rugs & carpets tend to have a larger, more supple weave (and accordingly exhibit a bolder, more large scale design). Indeed the design of Sultanabads resembles that of Herizes or Serapis somewhat in its graphic and monumental character, but even so the linework is always more curvilinear and classical. Sultanbad carpets also often have a rich, warm palette like that of Farahans and the earliest Sarouks.
