This rare antique Ziegler Sultanabad carpet is a magnificent example of 19th to early 20th-century Persian craftsmanship, likely woven for the American export market—as suggested by its imposing size and elegant colour palette.

The carpet features a decorative all-over design on a soft cream ground, beautifully complemented by floral elements in peach and light blue. What makes this piece truly special is its rare olive green border, an unusual and sought-after feature among Ziegler Sultanabads that adds both sophistication and distinction.

Ziegler & Co., a prominent Anglo-Swiss firm operating in Sultanabad (modern-day Arak), was renowned for producing rugs with softer palettes and refined layouts that appealed to Western tastes—particularly among affluent American and European clientele.

This carpet was likely originally placed under a large dining table, and it bears the graceful signs of its age. There are worn and low areas, consistent with years of use, which add to its authentic charm and antique character. These time-earned features do not detract from its beauty but rather highlight its story and provenance.

With its unusual colouring, balanced proportions, and timeless elegance, this piece makes a decorative statement in both traditional and transitional interiors.
