A Brief History of Ziegler Rugs
Ziegler rugs trace their origins back to the 19th century, when the Swiss company Ziegler & Co. established itself in Persian Arak (Iran).
Their aim was to produce hand-knotted rugs specifically tailored for the Western market.
The patterns were refined, the colours softened, and the designs adjusted to suit European and American tastes.
The name Ziegler became an iconic hallmark for high-end rugs.
Although originally from Iran, modern Ziegler rugs are primarily produced in Afghanistan and Pakistan—using the same traditional methods, often enriched with local influences and materials.
Afghan Zieglers are renowned for their robust quality, warm appearance, and natural colours.
