FAQs

Mahal rugs originate from the Mahallat region in central Persia, known for producing large-scale, room-sized carpets with open, oversized floral motifs tailored for Western export markets during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

These pieces are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on cotton foundations, employing vegetable and natural dyes that yield soft, muted colour palettes over time.

Authenticity is identified through irregular knot counts on the reverse, natural variations in vegetable dye lots known as abrash, hand-finished selvages, and organic wear consistent with age.

Such rugs ground contemporary and transitional spaces by adding textural warmth, muted heritage colour, and pattern contrast beneath modern minimalist or classic upholstery.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional specialist cleaning, avoiding direct prolonged sunlight, and using breathable rug underlays to prevent slippage and wear.
