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.
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
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
