It was named after the Anglo-Swiss company Ziegler & Co. based in Manchester. From the mid-1880s it was a producer and dealer in carpets from Persia and had production facilities in the Azerbaijan / Tabriz region, Sarough Sultanabad (today Arak) and Mahal. In contrast to the more colorful rugs of earlier eras, Ziegler rugs were made in softer and often lighter tones. The knot density was medium fine, the wool quality very good. Today, original Ziegler carpets are sought-after. Ziegler carpets are currently being knotted in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India and are sold under the following names: Ziegler Carpet, Ziegler Farahan, Ziegler Mahal and Ziegler Ariana. The designs are often based on the originals, the colors are often reduced to a few shades within a carpet. This creates rugs with calm elegance, which refine a room in a modern, upscale furnishing style, ideal as a decorative but calm design element. In addition to designs from Farahan, Mahal, Sultanabad, Oushak and Khotan motifs are also used in modern Ziegler carpets. High-quality new sheep's wool is used as the base material for the wear layer. This comes from the region (Ghanzi wool) as well as from New Zealand. The color pigments are of natural origin (vegetable colors) in higher-quality qualities. Typical colors of Ziegler carpets are beige, rut, grey, blue, black and green. A special wash gives the carpets a light vintage look and a subtle sheen. Coarser and cheaper Ziegler carpets are often referred to as Chobi Ziegler carpets, fine and finest Ziegler carpets as Ariana or Aryana / Ariana Ziegler carpets. Ziegler carpets are knotted in many formats. In Europe, the most common are 180 x 120 cm or 6 x 4 ft, 200 x 150 cm or 7 x 5 ft, 240 x 300 cm or 8 x 10 ft, 300 x 200 cm or 10 x 7 ft, 360 x 270 cm. or 12 x 9 ft Our customers in the USA and Great Britain are more often looking for oversized in 15 x 12 ft...
