Antique Ziegler Sultanabad Rug with Pointillist Design

In addition to workshops in Tabriz and Sultanabad (present-day Arak), Ziegler & Co. has brought the excellence of Persian rugs to a Western market through a base of operations in Manchester, England. Compared to rugs typically produced in Iran, Ziegler rugs and carpets — also referred to as Peshawar rugs or Chobi rugs — are famed for a softer palette and bolder patterns. These qualities have made Ziegler & Co.’s designs among the most sought-after styles of Persian rugs.

Versatile and traditional, Ziegler rugs have become the gold standard for natural floor coverings since the company was established over a century ago. Ziegler & Co. have set themselves apart by using vegetable-based dyes rather than chemical alternatives that mute the color tones as well as the highest quality Himalayan wool available. 

The exceptional strength of Ziegler rugs comes from a high knot count, which extends their durability to surpass most other rugs while requiring minimal maintenance. Whether used as an accent piece or a focal point, a Ziegler rug elevates any room in sophistication. While adaptable to a range of spaces, some design collections lend themselves to specific interiors like the Four Seasons collection, which perfectly complements Spanish Colonial homes, or the San Ysidro collection, which offers a Mediterranean flair.
