However, things must move on, and 'welcome to the modern Ziegler rug'. While the design is similar, the colours have changed somewhat, and they are now producing more lively tones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur Modern Ziegler collections are relatively new. Each handmade rug has many classic Ziegler designs and motifs. They tend to have more bright colours than the traditional Ziegler carpets. The bright, ' jewel-like colour' is maintained primarily by reducing the amount of washing. The classic Zieglers are heavily washed to produce the appearance of 'age'.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOften, people are curious about the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/William_Morris\" title=\"Wikipedia info on William Morris\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWilliam Morris\u003c\/a\u003e connection.

The processes were developed at the weaving stage, more crucially extending into the finishing process, particularly the herbal washes used. The fashion was to experiment, and the early Ziegler designs were quite different from this period's traditional rugs and carpets. The Oriental rug trade had not been used in this way before. In many ways, the pioneering techniques used by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ziegler_%26_Co.\" title=\"Ziegler \u0026amp; Co\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eZiegler \u0026amp; Co.\u003c\/a\u003e have been part of the inspiration behind some of the newly designed pieces from Afghan weavers, like the Samarkand and Mamluks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen buying online, it is worth considering the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jenningsrugs.live\/pages\/about-us\" title=\"Quick link to offer more history and information on Jennings rugs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecompany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and the rug.
