About the Item

Made with hand-knotted wool and originating from Western Persia circa 1870-1880, this 18x20 antique Persian rug is an extremely rare and exciting new oversized Ziegler rug in Rug & Kilim’s collectible curations of this celebrated weaving tradition. On the Design: This classic Zeigler design features a sublime balance between the warm terracotta prayer niche and luminous ivory spandrels, each zone articulated with botanical precision that demonstrates the workshop's legendary attention to detail. The central prayer arch creates dramatic vertical emphasis through its stepped geometric perimeter, while the suspended lamp motif introduces delicate symmetry that anchors the design’s spiritual symbolism. The terracotta field maintains elegant restraint, its saturated warmth providing a chromatic foundation against which scattered ivory palmettes achieve maximum luminosity. The upper and lower ivory panels reveal microscopic botanical complexity—tiny rosettes, palmette clusters, and vine scrolls rendered with calligraphic precision. This Ziegler transcends conventional floor covering to function as architectural artwork, its mihrab format creating dramatic focal points that enhance spatial hierarchy in luxury interiors. The piece excels in formal reception areas where its prayer rug symbolism adds cultural gravitas while the sophisticated palette harmonizes with European antiques and contemporary furnishings alike. Condition: This antique Zeigler rug further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage.
