A truly antique Ziegler Mahal carpet with a pointillist design, decorated by an infinite repeat pattern of tiny square devices, chromatically arranged on a diagonal axis and giving a visual impression of a pointillist design. This is likely the result of a special commission, which largely anticipated the development of modernist design in the subsequent decades.
