It gave its name to a classic floral pattern found on rugs from the Mahallat region around the town of Sultanabad. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nFrom the 1870s onwards, the Mahallat region around the town of Sultanabad (formerly Arak) grew into an important centre for knotting Persian rugs for export. A key role in this was played by the English import house Messrs. Ziegler \u0026amp; Co. Ltd., run by a Swiss merchant, which opened a branch in Mahallat in 1883.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThese rugs — also called Mahal, Ziegler-Mahal or simply Ziegler — were knotted in the surrounding villages to Western colour and pattern specifications. The blend of European design briefs in lighter, calmer colouring with classic patterns in the style of Farahan and Sultanabad rugs was very well received in Europe.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe success was enormous, and Ziegler rugs became an international mark of quality. The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted in high quality in Pakistan and India.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe newly issued Ziegler rugs, made from hand-spun wool dyed with natural colours, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs. This return to traditional techniques began in the early 1980s, driven not least by the so-called DOBAG initiative. At first the reproductions focused on the Ziegler rugs described above. In time, almost every traditional Persian pattern was being reproduced. The result: adaptations of antique rugs alongside contemporary designs with the charm of an antique piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lush floral motifs of this Farahan are elegant and full of variety.

The border forms a beautiful contrast with the centre.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e At the heart of this Farahan's central field sits the symmetrical centrepiece, also known as the medallion. The design of the field is subordinate to the medallion, so that the medallion seems to float on the field.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\n The background of this Farahan is dark red.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based colours is more complex, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale it even takes two kilograms of weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is just as time-consuming and labour-intensive. And fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort pays off: dyeing with natural colours lets the high-quality wool keep its natural lanolin content. Wool dyed with natural colours and spun by hand creates fascinating, shimmering patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool, with its slight irregularities and natural shades, comes into its own as a contrast in modern interiors, but just as much in rooms furnished in a more traditional or country style. The weft and warp threads of this Farahan are cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it ideal for a hard-wearing foundation weave.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254655660125,"sku":"18653","price":4490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18653_gesamt_af4cc69d-a976-4ec3-98ef-403531eac32f.jpg?v=1586905677"},{"product_id":"mahal-teppich-359-x-274-16059","title":"Mahal | 359 x 274 cm | Nr. 16059","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral Mahal, dark grey with border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePakistan\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e359 cm x 274 cm (= 9.84 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool (hand-spun, natural dyes)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e160.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003enew\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDark grey, Beige\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628887142493.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628887142493.usdz\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMahal is a western Persian rug provenance, named after the town of Mahallat and the province of the same name. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eFrom the 1870s onwards, the Mahallat region around the town of Sultanabad (formerly Arak) grew into an important centre for knotting Persian rugs for export.

The rugs known as Ziegler-Mahal, or simply Ziegler, were knotted in the surrounding villages to Western specifications for colour and pattern. This mixture of European design briefs in a lighter, calmer palette with classic patterns in the style of Farahan and Sultanabad rugs went down very well in Europe.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe success was enormous, and Ziegler rugs became an international mark of quality. The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted in high quality in Pakistan and India.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe newly issued Ziegler rugs, made from hand-spun wool dyed with natural colours, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant colours is more involved, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that is not too pale, it even takes two kilograms of weld dyestuff per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is time-consuming and labour-intensive too.

The blend of European design briefs in lighter, calmer colouring with classic patterns in the style of Farahan and Sultanabad rugs was very well received in Europe.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe success was enormous, and Ziegler rugs became an international mark of quality. The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted in high quality in Pakistan and India.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe newly issued Ziegler rugs, made from hand-spun wool dyed with natural colours, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs.

The graceful plant forms, showing blossoms, leaves and branches, are artfully intertwined.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e  The edge of the rug is graced by a surround (border). The border forms a wonderful contrast to the centre.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The repeating elements of this Farahan rug have no specific centre. The recurring repeat pattern feels calming, yet never dull. Rugs with a repeat pattern are also described as all-over patterned.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e  The surface of this Farahan has a mottled look. The shifts in tone and the light-and-dark shading of the pile yarn make the colours shimmer and keep the rug forgiving of dirt. These so-called colour shifts, known as abrash, give the rug a livelier feel. The mottling occurs because the wool of this Farahan was hand-spun. During dyeing, the natural pigments are absorbed to differing degrees.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this Farahan is gold-beige.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based colours is more complex, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale it even takes two kilograms of weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is just as time-consuming and labour-intensive. And fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort pays off: dyeing with natural colours lets the high-quality wool keep its natural lanolin content.

It gave its name to a classic floral pattern found on rugs from the Mahallat region around the town of Sultanabad. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nFrom the 1870s onwards, the Mahallat region around the town of Sultanabad (formerly Arak) grew into an important centre for knotting Persian rugs for export. A key role in this was played by the English import house Messrs. Ziegler \u0026amp; Co. Ltd., run by a Swiss merchant, which opened a branch in Mahallat in 1883.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThese rugs — also called Mahal, Ziegler-Mahal or simply Ziegler — were knotted in the surrounding villages to Western colour and pattern specifications. The blend of European design briefs in lighter, calmer colouring with classic patterns in the style of Farahan and Sultanabad rugs was very well received in Europe.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe success was enormous, and Ziegler rugs became an international mark of quality. The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted in high quality in Pakistan and India.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe newly issued Ziegler rugs, made from hand-spun wool dyed with natural colours, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs. This return to traditional techniques began in the early 1980s, driven not least by the so-called DOBAG initiative. At first the reproductions focused on the Ziegler rugs described above. In time, almost every traditional Persian pattern was being reproduced.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based colours is more complex, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale it even takes two kilograms of weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is just as time-consuming and labour-intensive. And fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort pays off: dyeing with natural colours lets the high-quality wool keep its natural lanolin content.

Ziegler \u0026amp; Co.

The rugs known as Ziegler-Mahal, or simply Ziegler, were knotted in the surrounding villages to Western specifications for colour and pattern. This mixture of European design briefs in a lighter, calmer palette with classic patterns in the style of Farahan and Sultanabad rugs went down very well in Europe.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe success was enormous, and Ziegler rugs became an international mark of quality. The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted in high quality in Pakistan and India.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe newly produced Ziegler rugs, made from hand-spun wool dyed with natural colours, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs. This return to traditional techniques began in the early 1980s, driven not least by the so-called DOBAG initiative. At first, reproduction concentrated on the Ziegler rugs described above. After that, almost every traditional Persian pattern began to be reproduced. This gave rise to adaptations of antique rugs as well as contemporary designs with the charm of an antique piece.\n With its faded pattern, which only reveals its full beauty on closer inspection, this Ziegler runner is wonderfully restrained and sits harmoniously in modern as well as classic interiors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Ziegler are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant colours is more involved, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that is not too pale, it even takes two kilograms of weld dyestuff per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is time-consuming and labour-intensive too. On top of that, fewer and fewer people still master spinning wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it: because it is dyed with natural colours, the high-quality wool keeps its natural lanolin content.

Ziegler \u0026amp; Co. Ltd. in Manchester, England, and at the same time a rug manufactory in Sultanabad (today Arak, Iran) in the Mahallat region. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThis is one reason why the area around the city of Sultanabad grew into an important centre for knotting Persian export rugs. The rugs known as Ziegler-Mahal, or simply Ziegler, were knotted in the surrounding villages to Western specifications for colour and pattern. This mixture of European design briefs in a lighter, calmer palette with classic patterns in the style of Farahan and Sultanabad rugs went down very well in Europe.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe success was enormous, and Ziegler rugs became an international mark of quality. The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted in high quality in Pakistan and India.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe newly revived Ziegler rugs, made from hand-spun wool dyed with natural colours, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs. This return to traditional techniques began in the early 1980s, driven in part by the so-called DOBAG initiative. At first, the reproductions focused on the Ziegler rugs described above. Before long, almost every traditional Persian pattern was being reproduced as well. The result was adaptations of antique rugs alongside contemporary designs with all the charm of an antique piece.\n This Ziegler is particularly exceptional, as it is graced by an Aubusson pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Ziegler are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant colours is more involved, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that is not too pale, it even takes two kilograms of weld dyestuff per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is time-consuming and labour-intensive too. On top of that, fewer and fewer people still master spinning wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it: because it is dyed with natural colours, the high-quality wool keeps its natural lanolin content.

For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale it even takes two kilograms of weld per kilo of wool.

Ziegler \u0026amp; Co. Ltd. in Manchester, England, and at the same time a rug manufactory in Sultanabad (today Arak, Iran) in the Mahallat region. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThis is one reason why the area around the city of Sultanabad grew into an important centre for knotting Persian export rugs. The rugs known as Ziegler-Mahal, or simply Ziegler, were knotted in the surrounding villages to Western specifications for colour and pattern. This mixture of European design briefs in a lighter, calmer palette with classic patterns in the style of Farahan and Sultanabad rugs went down very well in Europe.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe success was enormous, and Ziegler rugs became an international mark of quality. The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted in high quality in Pakistan and India.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe newly issued Ziegler rugs, made from hand-spun wool dyed with natural colours, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs. This return to traditional techniques began in the early 1980s, driven not least by the so-called DOBAG initiative. At first the reproductions focused on the Ziegler rugs described above. In time, almost every traditional Persian pattern was being reproduced.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant colours is more involved, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that is not too pale, it even takes two kilograms of weld dyestuff per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is time-consuming and labour-intensive too. On top of that, fewer and fewer people still master spinning wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it: because it is dyed with natural colours, the high-quality wool keeps its natural lanolin content.

It gave its name to a classic floral pattern found on rugs from the Mahallat region around the town of Sultanabad. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nFrom the 1870s onwards, the Mahallat region around the town of Sultanabad (formerly Arak) grew into an important centre for knotting Persian rugs for export. A key role in this was played by the English import house Messrs. Ziegler \u0026amp; Co. Ltd., run by a Swiss merchant, which opened a branch in Mahallat in 1883.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThese rugs — also called Mahal, Ziegler-Mahal or simply Ziegler — were knotted in the surrounding villages to Western colour and pattern specifications. The blend of European design briefs in lighter, calmer colouring with classic patterns in the style of Farahan and Sultanabad rugs was very well received in Europe.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe success was enormous, and Ziegler rugs became an international mark of quality. The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted in high quality in Pakistan and India.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe newly issued Ziegler rugs, made from hand-spun wool dyed with natural colours, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs. This return to traditional techniques began in the early 1980s, driven not least by the so-called DOBAG initiative. At first the reproductions focused on the Ziegler rugs described above. In time, almost every traditional Persian pattern was being reproduced.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based colours is more complex, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale it even takes two kilograms of weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is just as time-consuming and labour-intensive. And fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort pays off: dyeing with natural colours lets the high-quality wool keep its natural lanolin content.

It gave its name to a classic floral pattern found on rugs from the Mahallat region around the town of Sultanabad. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nFrom the 1870s onwards, the Mahallat region around the town of Sultanabad (formerly Arak) grew into an important centre for knotting Persian rugs for export. A key role in this was played by the English import house Messrs. Ziegler \u0026amp; Co. Ltd., run by a Swiss merchant, which opened a branch in Mahallat in 1883.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThese rugs — also called Mahal, Ziegler-Mahal or simply Ziegler — were knotted in the surrounding villages to Western colour and pattern specifications. The blend of European design briefs in lighter, calmer colouring with classic patterns in the style of Farahan and Sultanabad rugs was very well received in Europe.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe success was enormous, and Ziegler rugs became an international mark of quality. The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted in high quality in Pakistan and India.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe newly issued Ziegler rugs, made from hand-spun wool dyed with natural colours, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs. This return to traditional techniques began in the early 1980s, driven not least by the so-called DOBAG initiative. At first the reproductions focused on the Ziegler rugs described above. In time, almost every traditional Persian pattern was being reproduced. The result: adaptations of antique rugs alongside contemporary designs with the charm of an antique piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lush floral motifs of this Farahan are elegant and full of variety.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based colours is more complex, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale it even takes two kilograms of weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is just as time-consuming and labour-intensive. And fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort pays off: dyeing with natural colours lets the high-quality wool keep its natural lanolin content.

Ziegler \u0026amp; Co. Ltd. in Manchester, England, and at the same time a rug manufactory in Sultanabad (today Arak, Iran) in the Mahallat region. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThis is one reason why the area around the city of Sultanabad grew into an important centre for knotting Persian export rugs. The rugs known as Ziegler-Mahal, or simply Ziegler, were knotted in the surrounding villages to Western specifications for colour and pattern. This mixture of European design briefs in a lighter, calmer palette with classic patterns in the style of Farahan and Sultanabad rugs went down very well in Europe.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe success was enormous, and Ziegler rugs became an international mark of quality. The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted in high quality in Pakistan and India.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe newly issued Ziegler rugs, made from hand-spun wool dyed with natural colours, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs. This return to traditional techniques began in the early 1980s, driven not least by the so-called DOBAG initiative. At first the reproductions focused on the Ziegler rugs described above. In time, almost every traditional Persian pattern was being reproduced.

The pattern flatters the design of the room and never draws attention away from the furniture, the décor or the architectural features. It fits beautifully into any setting and complements a room's furnishings in a subtle way.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The surface of this Ziegler has a mottled look. The shifts in tone and the light-and-dark shading of the pile yarn make the colours shimmer and keep the rug forgiving of dirt. These so-called colour variations, abrash, give the rug a livelier appearance. The mottling comes about because the wool of this Ziegler was hand-spun. During dyeing, the natural dyes are absorbed to differing degrees.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e At the heart of this Ziegler's central field lies the symmetrical centre, also known as the medallion. The design of the field is subordinate to the medallion, so that the medallion appears to float upon it.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\n The straight stripes of this Ziegler order and structure the pattern.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this Ziegler is light red.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant colours is more involved, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that is not too pale, it even takes two kilograms of weld dyestuff per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is time-consuming and labour-intensive too. On top of that, fewer and fewer people still master spinning wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it: because it is dyed with natural colours, the high-quality wool keeps its natural lanolin content.

The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA.

The shifts in tone and the light-and-dark shading of the pile yarn make the colours shimmer and keep the rug forgiving of dirt.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based colours is more complex, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale it even takes two kilograms of weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is just as time-consuming and labour-intensive. And fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort pays off: dyeing with natural colours lets the high-quality wool keep its natural lanolin content.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based colours is more complicated, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that is not too pale, you even need two kilograms of weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is labour-intensive and time-consuming too. What is more, fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eBut the effort is worth it: because it is dyed with natural colours, the high-quality wool keeps its natural oils.

New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a whole range of impressive qualities: thanks to the wool's natural oil content, the surface repels drops of water and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also provides excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on the indoor climate and dampens sound. The weft and warp threads of this Farahan are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40028440723623,"sku":"19043","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/19043_gesamt.jpg?v=1621160933"},{"product_id":"farahan-teppich-216-x-140-19813","title":"Farahan | 216 x 140 cm | Nr. 19813","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral Farahan, dark blue with border and medallion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e216 cm x 140 cm (= 3.02 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e250.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e3mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1920\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDark blue, dark red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"6732560990375.glb\" data-ios-model=\"6732560990375.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFarahan is a district in the central Iranian province of Markazi.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based colours is more complex, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale it even takes two kilograms of weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is just as time-consuming and labour-intensive. And fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort pays off: dyeing with natural colours lets the high-quality wool keep its natural lanolin content. Wool dyed with natural colours and spun by hand creates fascinating, shimmering patterns.

For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale it even takes two kilograms of weld per kilo of wool.
