The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mahal carpets originate from the Arak region in central Persia, produced primarily during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They are recognized for their large-scale, open floral motifs and softer colour palettes on wool pile.

These carpets are hand-knotted using wool pile spun onto a cotton warp and weft foundation. Traditional weavers utilised natural dyes derived from plants and minerals, resulting in tonal variations throughout the pattern.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces feature asymmetrical hand-tied knots, vegetable-dyed wool with visible abrash, and a soft, flexible handle. The reverse side displays distinct, irregular hand-weaving without synthetic backing.

A large Mahal carpet grounds a living or dining room by pairing natural ivory and terracotta shades with modern neutral furnishings. Placing minimalist furniture over an intricate floral lattice creates visual contrast and warmth.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush to protect the wool fibres. Periodical professional cleaning using traditional hand-washing methods preserves the natural dyes and structural integrity.
