Brief history of Ziegler carpets

Ziegler carpets originate in the 19th century, when the Swiss company Ziegler & Co. established itself in Arak, Iran. The goal was to produce hand-knotted carpets specifically aimed at the Western market.
The patterns were refined, the colors softened, and the designs adapted to suit European and American interior tastes.
The name Ziegler became an iconic term for carpets in the upper segment of the market.

Although their origin lies in Iran, modern Ziegler carpets are mainly produced in Afghanistan and Pakistan – using the same traditional methods, but often with local influences and materials. Afghan Zieglers are known for their robust quality, warm appearance, and natural colors.

This carpet is very thick and heavy, hence the extra transportation costs.
