FAQs

Mahal carpets originated from the Mahal district in west-central Persia and are recognised for their expressive floral patterns, wide compound borders, and open grid designs woven during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation, utilizing natural plant and mineral dyes for deep colouration.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical Persian knots, subtle abrash colour variations from vegetable dyes, a pliable handle, and characteristic slight hand-woven irregularities.

The deep red and navy tones provide visual structure beneath neutral seating arrangements, adding layer, texture, and warmth to contemporary or classic schemes.

Vacuum regularly on a suction-only setting without a rotating brush, rotate annually to distribute wear evenly, and blot liquid spills immediately with clean water.
