This late 19th-century Antique Persian Ziegler Sultanabad is a breathtaking testament to the golden age of Persian rugs weaving, specifically designed to meet the sophisticated tastes of the Western market during the Victorian era. Characterized by its rare and luminous light blue field, this piece showcases a sprawling, allover design of oversized palmettes and graceful floral vines. Unlike the rigid symmetry of many city made antique rugs, this Sultanabad offers an airy, uncrowded aesthetic that radiates a sense of relaxed grandeur and rustic charm, making it a highly coveted "anchor" piece for both contemporary and traditional interiors. Crafted in the Arak district under the influence of the renowned Ziegler & Co., this rug exemplifies the "understated luxury" that defines the brand.
