Ziegler (Sultanabad)

Ziegler names carpets in the style made for Ziegler & Co., the Manchester-based firm that organised village weaving around Sultanabad (now Arak) from around 1880, supplying dyed wool and cartoons and adapting palettes, sizes and designs to Western taste. The firm's carpets carry no marks, so the name usually describes a style rather than a proven maker.
