Vintage Persian Mahal Rug

About the Item

A second quarter, Mid-Century Persian Mahal antique washed carpet. Mahal carpets are found with both tribal and curvilinear motifs. This attribute derives from the unique position of the city of Mahallat, which is between the cities of Arak and Delijan, on the path of the tribal people of southern Iran. In 1883, Ziegler and Co. established a weaving company in Sultanabad employing designers from major western department stores who would modify elaborate 16th and 17th century Persian designs for the more subdued Western aesthetic. Ziegler created rugs in this region with bold, all-over patterns in a softer color palette than their Persian versions. They made a rug that became known as the Ziegler-Mahal, and wealthy European industrialists were their biggest customers. Ziegler-Mahal rugs are still considered very desirable in today's market.
