Fine 'Ziegler' Rug Sultanabad Region, West Persia, Circa 1890, 1.75m X 1.21m

19th century
Description

Many Persian rugs produced in Sultanabad region of West Persia between 1890 and 1920 have been mistakenly described as 'Ziegler' rugs, a reference to the Manchester-based Anglo-Swiss company Ziegler and Co. that produced and ordered some outstanding rugs and carpets during that period. However, this wonderful piece from around 1880 might well be the real deal. Finely knotted with Manchester wool, a characteristic of many Ziegler weavings, the colours are subtle while the design is elegant and harmonious. Note the lovely aquamarine colour in the border which is really delightful. The repeat lattice design in the field is filled with a variety of ornaments which creates a sense of movememnt and vivacity. The pile has been cropped low which gives the design greater definition. Note the slight corrosion in the drown dye, a clear indication of a 19th century dating. Cherished through the generations, this lovely piece has survived in excellent condition. Professionally cleaned in our workshops. ideal decoration for any setting, traditional or contemporary.

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 rugs were commissioned by the British firm Ziegler & Co. in the Sultanabad region during the late 19th century, featuring scaled-up traditional Persian floral motifs and softer colour palettes tailored for Western interiors.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic pieces feature muted colour tones, large-scale open floral patterns without a central medallion, visible knotting structure on the reverse, and natural variations in dye colours known as abrash.

The soft palette and oversized floral patterns complement contemporary minimalism, providing warmth and textural depth without overpowering neutral room schemes.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically to ensure even wear, address spills immediately with a clean damp cloth, and use a professional rug cleaner for deep washing.
