This antique Persian Ziegler Mahal carpet originates from 1900 and is made from wool and cotton. The rectangular textile measures 394 cm high and 327 cm wide. A terracotta red field displays large floral palmette motifs, curvilinear vines, and floral scrollwork in shades of yellow, light blue, dusty pink, and navy blue, framed by a heavy green and navy blue floral border featuring intricate border arabesques. Suitable for use in a dining room, library, or office, the carpet integrates seamlessly into an English Country House interior. The floor covering provides a substantial decorative anchor for furniture placement in large reception rooms or studies, bringing traditional Persian craftsmanship and warm earthy tones to modern domestic spaces.

Ziegler & Co. was a Manchester-based firm that established weaving workshops in Arak, Persia, during the late 19th century to create carpets specifically tailored for Western interiors, characterized by large-scale patterns and muted colour palettes.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft, utilising vegetable dyes that soften naturally over time.

Authentic examples feature large-scale palmette and vine motifs, a softer washed colour scheme including terracotta, ivory, and dark blue, and a relatively supple weave compared to urban city rugs.

A Ziegler carpet serves as a soft foundational anchor in neutral living rooms or dining areas, pairing effectively with both dark timber antiques and understated contemporary furniture.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar, turn the carpet annually to distribute wear evenly, and use professional rug cleaning specialists for deep treatment.
