Unusual Handwoven Ziegler Sultanabad Carpet
3.65 x 2.73 m
Ziegler Sultanabad carpets were originally commissioned in Persia for the Western market during the late 19th Century, to complement Western furnishing tastes, quickly becoming popular across the UK and Europe, thanks to their unique, grand scale drawings, quiet formality, and understated colours, which continue to make them highly sought-after additions to modern homes today, thanks to their ability to unite both classic and contemporary elements in a room.
This fine example represents a contemporary reimagining of Ziegler Sultanabad carpets of the 19th Century, handwoven in Iran in high-grade wool – a modern twist on a classic work of design, it features an unusually irregular and spacious design, with tones of deep blue and red, across an ivory ground, framed by a wide duck-egg blue border.
A timeless example, to complement a wide variety of spaces.
