Antique Ziegler-Mahal carpet

A wonderful antique Ziegler-Mahal carpet woven with a natural wool off-white background, one of the rarest colours to find. The deep indigo blue border is a great frame for the main design and colours, we also have some beautifully drawn birds in the border design in-between the floral patterns.  The main field design consists of large scale abstract flowers and leaves, the natural dyes of sage green, muted pink, gold tones and aubergine/brown early dyes create a fantastic palette.  This carpet would be a dream to scheme around choosing fabrics to work with it for a drawing room or study for example.  So many fabulous colours to use.

Ziegler-Mahal's are called as such, because the Ziegler workshop produced carpets from their own looms with their own designs.  Using traditional Persian patterns consisting of small palmettes, floral rosettes and leaves, these were soon commissioned in grand sizes for the Western market and the designs, in particular the palmettes, were blown up to large proportions.  Often these Ziegler-Mahals can be considered earlier productions from the workshop, before designs were scaled up and large 5 x 4 metre examples were produced.
