Ziegler Rugs, Ziegler Carpets

In 1883, Ziegler and Co. of Manchester, England, established Persian carpet manufacture and export in Arak, IRAN. They employed designers from major Western department stores, like B. Altman & Co. and Liberty of London, to modify fanciful 16th- and 17th-century Eastern designs for the more restrained Western taste. Using highly developed dying techniques and the best artisans from the region, Ziegler created rugs with bold, all-over patterns and with softer palettes than the more vibrant Persian counterparts.

Nowadays, Ziegler is used as a generic name for this distinctive style of carpet, many of which are now produced in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Ziegler carpets are found in many sizes, including large format up to 20 feet.
