Condition report: The carpet is in original order, we have not embarked on any restoration. The pile height is low to medium throughout, with signs of wear, scattered across the carpet. We love the authenticity of this exceptional early Ziegler carpet and in no way does this scattered wear alter the strength or longevity of the carpet. Our sturdy underlay we supply with every carpet adds body and durability to preserve rare antique carpets such as this piece.
Ziegler & co workshop carpets have always been revered and desired by collectors and designers alike. Ziegler rugs developed an almost immediate following in the late 19th Century, especially among early collectors which included the Guinness family, who laid them in Elveden Hall, their Suffolk estate. Ziegler carpets are one of the only types of Persian carpet which were influenced by western designs and have become one of the most sought after carpets in the world today.
