Antique Ziegler Carpet

19th century
Description

An Antique Ziegler carpet from the late 19th century, with the large scale design we associate with these decorative carpets of this period.  Rich warm reds have been used for the main field colour combined with pale blues, yellows and some greens.  An attractive array of natural dyes make this a warm and inviting carpet for a drawing room, study, library, dining room or bedroom.  As this could be easily placed within an existing scheme or you could build a room around this stunning piece!

Available to be privately viewed at home, by requesting a home visit, you can choose a convenient day and time for us to bring this carpet to you.  We travel nationwide showing our carpets to private customers and interior designers, it would be a pleasure to help you.

Alternatively arrange a visit to our barn showroom, we are open Monday to Saturday by appointment.

The history of Ziegler carpets: 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 beautiful, all-over patterns and with softer palettes than their vibrant Persian counterparts.

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.

Ziegler carpets were originally commissioned in the late nineteenth century by the Manchester-based firm Ziegler & Co. in Arak, Persia, designed specifically to suit Western decor with oversized floral patterns and softer colour palettes.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using vegetable-dyed wool pile spun onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation.

Authentic late nineteenth or early twentieth-century Ziegler pieces feature large-scale floral palmettes, soft ivory or subtle pastel accents, and a distinctive supple handle.

Designers often place Ziegler carpets in living rooms or dining areas to anchor neutral furnishings, using the balanced colour palette to bridge traditional and modern aesthetic elements.

Vacuum regularly without using a rotating beater bar, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and arrange for professional hand-washing by a specialist rug restorer when required.
