Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1890s:
Hand-knotted wool pile on cotton foundation: typical Sultanabad district workshop structure.
Soft terracotta and olive dye palette: characteristic late nineteenth-century Ziegler production.
Subtle abrash colour banding across the field: yarn dyed in small separate batches.
Gentle natural pile wear throughout: many decades of careful domestic use.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This 1890 antique Ziegler wool and cotton carpet displays a square format measuring 244 cm high and 239 cm wide. The hand-knotted textile exhibits a terracotta red field filled with intricate floral palmettes in green, gold, taupe, ivory, and pale yellow, set within a grass green multi-tiered decorative border and finished with original ends alongside one expert side repair. The vegetable dye palette yields an English Country House design vibe suited to traditional room placement. Suitable for floor placement in a living room, dining room or bedroom, the rug functions well beneath a central table or as an anchoring element for seating arrangements. The allover floral field provides pattern and texture to timber or stone flooring while introducing traditional warmth to the interior.

FAQs

Ziegler carpets were commissioned in Persia by the Manchester-based firm Ziegler & Co during the late nineteenth century. Designed specifically for Western markets, they feature scaled-up classical floral motifs and softer, muted colour palettes.

Authentic Ziegler carpets are constructed using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation, coloured using natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic pieces feature soft colour variations from natural vegetable dyes, slight asymmetry characteristic of hand-knotted weaving, a flexible cotton backing, and uniform pile wear consistent with age.

A large carpet functions as an anchor for seating or dining areas. Position furniture centrally or partially on the rug to frame the room, allowing the subtle background palette to balance contemporary furnishings.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting to avoid damaging the fibres. Rotate the carpet periodically to ensure even wear and light exposure, and engage specialist rug cleaners for periodic washing.
