ABOUT THIS PIECE
A new Ziegler-style Persian rug from the Mahal region near Arak, hand-knotted in handspun wool on a cotton foundation, with large palmettes on a pale pistachio field.
Palmettes, rosettes and long serrated saz leaves in apricot, gold, rust and rose-brown fill the field in an open design, mirrored end to end, with a floral cross at the centre and a lobed cartouche of green, rust and ivory at each end. A sky blue main border carries ivory rosettes and palmettes with rust centres on a vine, between narrow cream guards.
The wool is handspun and coloured with natural dyes. Its abrash, the soft shifts of shade between batches of wool, shows as paler straw and green bands across the lower field.
Sultanabad, today's Arak, is where the Manchester firm Ziegler & Co. had rugs woven for European homes from the 1880s, and this rug revives their large, open drawing.
It is brand new.
At 347 by 243cm it suits a living room or a dining room. Explore more traditional Persian rugs.
