The English import company called Company Messrs. Ziegler \u0026 Co. Ltd. founded by a Swiss merchant played an important role in this, opening a branch office in Mahallat in 1883.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThese rugs, also called Farahan, Mahal, Ziegler-Mahal or simply \u003cb\u003eZiegler\u003c\/b\u003e were knotted in nearby villages following \u003cb\u003e western color and pattern specifications\u003c\/b\u003e. Being a mixture of European design guidelines in lighter, calmer colors and classical patterns in the style of the Farahan and Sultanabad, these rugs were very well received in Europe.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe success was huge, and Ziegler rugs became an international quality mark. The exquisite flow of the multi-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Zigler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs achieve record prices today, especially in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted with high quality in Pakistan or India.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe newly reproduced Ziegler rugs, made of hand-spun wool and dyed with natural dyes, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs. The return to traditional techniques began in the early 1980s, driven, among other things, by the so-called DOBAG initiative. Initially, reproduction concentrated on Ziegler rugs, as described above. Subsequently, the reproduction of almost all traditional Persian patterns began. This resulted in adaptations of antique rugs as well as modern designs drawing on the charm of antique rugs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatterns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The luxuriant \u003cb\u003eflower motifs\u003c\/b\u003e of this Mahal are elegant and varied.

The wool is dyed with \u003cb\u003enatural colors\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003e spun by hand\u003c\/b\u003e. Dyeing with natural or vegetable dyes is more complicated, expensive and time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a bright red, for example, you would need about one kilogram of ground madder root per kilogram of wool as dye. For a strong, not too pale yellow, you would need two kilograms of the dye madder per kilogram of wool. Also spinning wool is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, fewer and fewer people are able to hand spin wool.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it: By dyeing with natural dyes, the high-quality wool retains its natural fat content. Wool dyed with \u003cb\u003enatural colors\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003e spun by hand\u003c\/b\u003e creates fascinating, iridescent patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool with its slight irregularities and natural hues unfolds as a contrasting element in modern interiors, but also in rooms that are furnished in a more traditional or country house style. The weft and warp threads of this Mahal are made of \u003cb\u003ecotton\u003c\/b\u003e. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255196364893,"sku":"14687","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/14687_gesamt.jpg?v=1586914123","url":"https:\/\/www.zomorrodi-teppiche.de\/en-de\/products\/mahal-teppich-631-x-91-14687","provider":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
