About the Item

This traditional hand-woven Persian Ziegler Sultanabad rug has a shaded medium blue field with symmetrical rust and cream floral motifs and serrated curling leaves with subtle accents of artichoke-green foliage, in a broad rust border with polychrome palmette vines between double floral vine stripes, plain outer shaded blue stripe. In the late 1870s, a new style of Sultanabad antique rug was developed as a result of venture capital money invested by Ziegler & Co. of Manchester, England, which subsidized one-of-a-kind commissioned pieces particularly for export to England and France. This resulted in the noted “Ziegler Sultanabad” Persian carpet style. Distinguished by a significantly finer weave and stylish, allover patterns in delicate color, Ziegler Sultanabad rugs met with great success in Europe, immediately recognized by the more decoratively inclined Western markets. Although based on classical Persian carpet patterns, Zieglers offer delightfully inspired English translations, often to impressive overscale proportions. Ziegler Sultanabad rugs are beloved among many fine interior designers and art lovers for their marriage of casual motifs and superlative craftsmanship.
