Ziegler's & Co of Manchester started producing carpets in Sultanabad in 1872, catering to the Victorian British market and its tastes while preserving age old Persian styles. The fusion of both was a winner and today authentic Ziegler rugs are very hard to come by--and equally desirable. Green dye is very difficult to achieve, adding to the collectibility appeal of this Ziegler carpet. Its decorative charm and pleasant aesthetic ensure it is a worthy addition to any collection.
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.
