Sultanabad-Mahal-Ziegler Rugs
Antique Persian rust Ziegler Sultanabad rug, circa 1880 8'5x11'10. The Ziegler Company from Manchester was one of the earliest dealers and manufacturers of carpets operating in Persia and commissioning these carpets. They were active in Persia between 1870-1920 establishing offices and a dyeing workshop. Zeiglers were the first Persian (Eastern) rugs to be redesigned according to western tastes. The decorative rug contains graphics of lions and deer, inter weaved among flowers and vines. Colors: rust/navy/tan/ivory/gold
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
