Antique Ziegler Carpet

19th century
Description

An exquisite and rare small format carpet from the famed and world renown Ziegler & Co workshop in Sultanabad, Persia, dating from the late 19th century.  The wool pile on this antique Ziegler carpet is in remarkable original condition retaining its beautiful natural colours, with the design consisting of floral motifs and flowing vines in the main field.  The change in dyes, known as 'abrash' is one of the main highlights of this carpet, with the weavers using varying blues, greys, and greens on the main background which have oxidised and changed as the carpet has aged, adding enormous depth and character.  The red border is flanked with minor gold borders and frames the whole piece beautifully.

Ziegler & co workshop carpets have always been revered and desired by collectors and designers alike.  Ziegler rugs developed an almost immediate following in the late 19th Century, especially among early collectors which included the Guinness family, who laid them in Elveden Hall, their Suffolk estate. Ziegler carpets are one of the only types of Persian carpet which were influenced by western designs and have become one of the most sought after carpets in the world today.

Request a home visit to view this stunning antique Ziegler carpet in situ at a convenient time.  Or please book in a showroom visit, we are located in Crondall, Surrey and open Monday to Saturday 9.30-5.30pm.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Ziegler carpets were originally commissioned in Persia during the late nineteenth century by the Anglo-Swiss firm Ziegler & Co. to suit Western interior tastes. They feature larger-scale floral motifs, understated colour palettes, and softer tones than traditional Persian region designs.

Authentic Ziegler carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation. The yarns were historically coloured using natural plant and mineral dyes, resulting in subtle tonal variations and gentle abrash throughout the pile.

Authentic period examples exhibit muted natural dye shades rather than harsh synthetic tones, alongside hand-spun wool featuring organic colour variations. The reverse side reveals irregularities consistent with genuine hand-knotting rather than precise machine production.

A Ziegler carpet functions as a neutral foundation that bridges classic antiques and contemporary furniture. The subdued colour tones ground living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms without overpowering minimalist or modern design elements.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting to avoid pulling wool fibres with a rotating beater bar. Blot liquid spills immediately with a dry cloth without rubbing, and utilise professional hand-washing services for deep cleaning.
