Zieglers are among the most sought-after antique carpets in today’s market. Their gracious size, subtle color combinations, and uncluttered patterns make them appealingly adaptable to room settings of varied decor. These fashionable carpets were produced in Persia by the Manchester, England–based Anglo-Swiss firm of Ziegler & Company in the late nineteenth centuries. In that regime European market for Oriental carpets began to diminish as the demand for domestic weavings increased. Rather than the Eastern or Islamic taste of the Persian carpets, followed the prevailing Western fashions of the time, which featured large floral and architecturally inspired motifs and designs. Today similar methods have been adopted to produce the Ziegler carpets. In addition, traditional local dying techniques are improved, creating new possibilities in color and tonality. With bold, allover patterns and softer palettes.
