Middle East Floral Beige Runner Rug with Border, 2000s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

The embellished edging (border) forms a beautiful contrast to the center and creates a transition at the edge of the rug. The luxuriant flower motifs of this Ziegler are elegant and varied. The graceful vegetative symbols representing flowers, leaves and branches are artfully intertwined. The repeating elements in the center field of this Ziegler rug have no specific center (so-called repeating pattern). The repeating pattern has a calming but not boring effect. Rugs with repeating patterns are also called patterned. The background of this Ziegler is beige. The border features beige, rusty red and gray. You are not the first to appreciate this Ziegler. It has had owners before you who have cherished and used it. It was hand knotted about 2000. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it lovingly. Therefore it is in very good condition despite its age. The technique used to produce the materials of the pile of this Ziegler is over 200 years old. The wool is dyed with natural colors and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or vegetable dyes is more complicated, expensive and time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a bright red, for example, you would need about one kilogram of ground madder root per kilogram of wool as dye. For a strong, not too pale yellow, you would need two kilograms of the dye madder per kilogram of wool. Also spinning wool is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, fewer and fewer people are able to hand spin wool. But the effort is worth it: By dyeing with natural dyes, the high-quality wool retains its natural fat content. Wool dyed with natural colors and spun by hand creates fascinating, iridescent patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool with its slight irregularities and natural hues unfolds as a contrasting element in modern interiors, but also in rooms that are furnished in a more traditional or country house style. The weft and warp threads of this Ziegler are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.
