They are fine, bold rugs with hard backs; and it’s not unusual to find them with breaks and tears because of this hardness. The colours are usually strong, contrasts great. They are made with a Sehna knot and are usually very fine. The Sarouk and Kashan may be distinguished from all others by their short velvety nap; dark rich colours; fields of graceful, foliated stalks and floral forms resting on concentric medallions; and the fine, firm texture of the weave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautiful, nigh on antique, piece providing cracking value.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade Rugs \u0026 Textiles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57164675645821,"sku":"3091","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/6074\/files\/saroukcarpet46.jpg?v=1760440357"},{"product_id":"a-large-contemporary-gold-antique-wash-ziegler-carpet-c-2010","title":"A Large Contemporary Gold Antique Wash Ziegler Carpet c.2010","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin: Pakistan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: Ziegler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance: Unknown\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: c.2010\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: 117” \/ 9.75ft\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth: 95” \/ 7.92ft (2.98 x 2.42)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ziegler carpet of good size at almost ten feet long, having an antique wash with a truffle ground and bold designs of stylised semi-floral palmettes in a variety of shimmering golds, the whole enclosed by a triple border in a light powder gold, and surviving from the first decade of the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece is in good overall condition with only light wear.

They were made for the European market from 1870 with the term 'Ziegler' referring to the Anglo-Swiss company Ziegler \u0026amp; Co. They were producing exclusive Persian carpets in their own workshops in the Sultanabad region of Western Persia between 1870 and 1920. Afghan Zieglers have proved to be one of the most popular hand woven rugs of recent times. They are woven mainly by Afghan weavers and are sold out of markets in Northern Pakistan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasily capable of blending seamlessly with antique and contemporary settings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade Rugs \u0026 Textiles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57167587967357,"sku":"296","price":1375.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/6074\/files\/antiquewashzieglercarpet1.jpg?v=1760527384"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.doeandhope.com\/en-us\/collections\/handmade-rugs-textiles.oembed?page=3","provider":"Doe \u0026 Hope","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
