Additional Information:
Afghan Ziegler Rugs are inspired by a type of carpet woven under western supervision by a company known as Ziegler & Co. of Manchester (a British company of Swiss origins) in the Arak region of Persia in the 1880s.
Whilst perusing our Ziegler collection it is important to appreciate these designs as classic versatile pieces that carry varying intensities of attractive hues to suit your taste and décor. Creams, ivories, soft beige-light browns and other exquisite neutrals that appear in a variety of saturation are impressionistically combined with choices of russets, blues, leafy greens, ambers, greyish -mauves all still with a superb softness of tone.
Hints, touches and outlines of Degas like pastel colours, sometimes more intense to increase and imbue further traces of definition often outline the delicate whisper-like tendrils, stems, leaves arabesques, palmettes and buds or fill a field or border, never without softness of tone and texture.
The heritage of Ziegler design carpets and colours were always specifically tailored in the past for fashionable and beautiful interiors; the attractive featured expansive palmettes and soft colours greatly admired and sought after. They still today boast that ability; breathing subtle beauty to enhance any environment. They are mood enhancing and bring instant tranquillity into your room but with a great beauty of gentle colour. With our collection it is possible to change the decorative temperature of a room with your choice of cool to warmth depending on your desire.
Discover more in colours that are pleasing-to-the-eye; forget-me-not blues, hints of cerulean blues, terracotta, stone-beiges, warming ochres, gentle salmons, blue-greys, jade greens to leafy greens, cinnamons, nutmegs like combinations and glazes of fine porcelain or cloud-like layered misty-smokiness with lustre and luminosity. Think Monet’s waterlilies in these beautiful floral sprays, flowering leaves coming in and out of focus before your eyes here in this exquisite textile art form.
These expert handwoven artful blends of colour and design recreate a painterly-like finesse; and represent a wonderful combination of beauty in a hard-wearing floor art feature and with highly crafted use the natural vegetable dyes; the most subtle hues are caught and woven into these charmingly refined creations.
Not only the heritage of this particular style and palette you will proliferate and continue if you choose to grace your interior with a Ziegler design, but also continue the fascinating heritage of age-old classic Persian floral designs of palmettes and floral arabeques that will elevate any setting.
Amazingly, despite the light colour scheme these rugs are incredibly durable due to the tough nature of the wool pile and wear clean in use.
