Sultanabad-Mahal-Ziegler Rugs

Sultanabad" is one of those magical rugs every interior designer talks about. Sultanabads were woven in the Sultanabad/ Arak (Markazai) area/province before the First World War, and there are plenty of Mahal wannabee rugs from the same area but lacking the expansive design and mellow palettes of the originals. Many, perhaps most, were woven under the aegis and at the order of the famous British firm of Ziegler. Cotton foundations are standard, along with asymmetric (Persian) knots and a reasonably flexible handle. A true luxurious mansion size rug!

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.
