Oversized Antique Ziegler Persian Sultanabad Rug with Florals, from Rug & Kilim

On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will note this piece is an exemplar of the many beauties that distinguish Ziegler rugs, such as its spacious large size and scale of pattern and soft colors like those seen here. In this piece, a creamy beige field underscores large palmette florals in sky blue, salmon and tangerine red, gold and beige-brown. The borders draw on the same palette, though keen eyes will admire freckles of chartreuse green in the floral scrolls therein. It’s that rare, fine balance between the grand sense of detail and still so approachable, comfortable sensibility that perhaps stands out among the many beauties in this rug as those of a masterpiece—an extremely collectible work of art for both connoisseur and designer alike.

Condition:

This antique Ziegler rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
