About the Item
One of the principal characteristics of Ziegler carpets can be seen in their particular treatment of colour, where the wool yarns are masterfully dyed so to create an almost translucent effect. In this example, the large scale, infinite repeat scrolling palmettes and arabesques pattern is set on a very light aqua background, with touches of coral red. This imparts a particular fluidity to the composition, as if the motifs were floating on an imaginary water basin. None of the colours dominate, as they blend in a unique patina of warm earth tones. The elaborate pattern never appears congested.
The stately yet relaxed mood characteristic of Ziegler carpets is achieved by a unique sense of spacing in the design, a painterly sense of colour and a refined texture. These factors all contribute in making this carpet among the favourite classics of our era.
