They were known for fine knot counts and incredibly intricate designs.

Sultanabad was home to master weavers whose designs had been used in the courts and public spaces of Persia since the 1500s. In the 18th century, Ziegler and Company recruited some of these master weavers to begin to produce carpets that would be more appealing to the western market. They were designed with a more westernized sense of color and used designs that would complement the most popular home decor of the time. The colors of Ziegler carpets have a different aesthetic than those produced by the traditional Sultanabad weavers.
