A masterpiece of weaving from the famous and world renowned Ziegler & Co workshop. The rarest and most desirable type of Ziegler with an ivory wool background and ivory border.

With exquisite olive greens, muted reds, pale blue abrash (dye change) in the border, this piece has everything you would look for in a decorative Ziegler. A beautifully spaced open drawing of floral palmettes and subtle leaves. A truly breathtaking example. 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.
