A rare and very beautiful pale blue Antique Ziegler rug in small size, as most Ziegler & Co workshop carpets were produced in large sizes for drawing rooms.  In excellent original condition with a soft and consistent wool pile throughout, it has the most beautiful soft colours, a classical medallion and corner spandrel design, the dyes from these late 19th century rugs in Sultanabad, Persia are quite magnificent!

One of the best small format Ziegler rugs we have seen, it is a rare and collectable rug, woven over 130 years ago!

View this stunning antique Ziegler rug at home or in our barn showroom soon by appointment. Contact us in your preferred way to organise a viewing, thank you.

In 1883, Ziegler and Co, of Manchester, England established a Persian carpet manufacture in Sultanabad Persia, which employed designers from major western department stores such as B. Altman & Co of New York and  Liberty, to modify 16th- and 17th-century Eastern designs for the more restrained western taste. Using highly developed dying techniques, and the best artisans from the region, the Ziegler Co created rugs with bold all-over patterns and with softer palettes than their vibrant Persian counterparts.

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

Developed in the late 19th century by the Anglo-Swiss firm Ziegler & Co. in Arak, Persia, these rugs were specifically commissioned to suit Western interior tastes, featuring scaled-up traditional motifs and softer, muted colour palettes.

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

Authentic pieces typically feature larger floral patterns, a lower knot density compared to urban Persian rugs, soft muted tones from natural dyes, and subtle abrash shade variations across the field.

These versatile textiles bridge classical and contemporary decor by anchoring living rooms, dining spaces, or bedrooms, harmonising effortlessly with both dark wood antiques and minimalist contemporary furniture.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating beater bar, rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear, address spills immediately with a damp cloth, and consult a professional rug restorer for deep cleaning.
