FAQs

Mahal carpets are a traditional style of Persian rug originating from the central region of Iran, known for their large-scale, often simplified floral motifs and softer colour palettes compared to urban counterparts.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for the pile, often set upon a cotton foundation, with natural dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects used to create the characteristic hues.

Authentication involves examining the irregularity of the hand-knotted foundation, the natural variations in vegetable-dyed wool, and the specific wear patterns consistent with age and handcrafting.

This piece can be integrated into contemporary spaces by placing it on neutral flooring to ground modern furniture, thereby adding texture, historical depth, and rich colour to the room.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-cleaning when necessary, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight to protect the natural dyes.
