Antique Ziegler Carpet

19th century
Description

Antique Ziegler carpet, Persia, Circa 1880 - These are famous carpets due to a visionary Swiss businessman who In 1883 used his company Ziegler and Co, of Manchester, England to establish a Persian carpet manufacture in Sultanabad Persia.  Which employed designers from major western department stores such as A 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, decorative all-over patterns and with softer palettes than their vibrant Persian counterparts.

This antique Ziegler carpet has been woven with an elegant central motif surrounded by floral vines and palmettes.  The open space in the rest of the main field makes this a more open piece which is not as fussy as some Persian carpets can be.  The warm indigo blue border has a good array of dyes and abrash, which is the term for dye change.  Abrash is common in antique carpets and rugs due the dyes having oxidised over 100 years and the various batches of wool that have been used.  The condition of this antique carpet is good, some areas of lower pile and wear but no major restoration.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Ziegler carpets were produced in Persia starting in the late 19th century by the Anglo-Swiss company Ziegler & Co, specifically tailored to Western aesthetic tastes with softened colour palettes and enlarged floral scales.

They are typically hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton warp and weft, utilizing natural vegetable dyes that age and soften over time.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-knotted weave variations, subtle vegetable dye colour shifts known as abrash, and open floral compositions rather than dense, crowded pattern work.

A Ziegler carpet adds colour balance and texture to modern spaces when placed beneath neutral contemporary upholstery or alongside classic timber furniture.

Regular vacuuming without a suction roller brush is recommended, alongside professional cleaning and the use of a rug underlay to minimise fibre friction and wear.
