Mahal Sultanabad 1046

Discover the ageless beauty and renowned design of this magnificent late 19th century Persian Ziegler Mahal Sultanabad room size rug. These rugs, woven in the Sultanabad area of Persia (modern-day Arak) from the mid-1800s, are world-renowned and highly desirable for their unique color schemes and open, large-scale designs. The Anglo-Swiss firm, Ziegler & Co., established operations in Sultanabad to create carpets specifically for the Western market, resulting in a style that is both traditional and innovative.

This beautiful Mahal Sultanabad rug features a captivating and expansive overall geometric pattern set against a warm and rich rust-red field. The large forms in luminous ivory, serene baby blue, delicate pink, and deep navy that are woven throughout the field and border add to the rug's exceptional beauty and balance. This open and spacious design is a signature feature of Ziegler rugs, which were created to suit Western interior tastes.

The rug's masterful use of color, with its blend of soft, muted tones and bolder accents, is a defining characteristic of this style. The design and color palette give the rug a versatile elegance, allowing it to serve as a sophisticated foundation for both traditional and transitional interiors.
