FAQs

Mahal carpets originate from the Mahal region in west-central Persia, known for producing room-sized rugs featuring expansive, all-over floral patterns and a softer, more muted colour palette compared to urban Persian counterparts.

These carpets are hand-knotted using a wool pile on a cotton foundation, employing traditional asymmetrical or symmetrical Persian knots with natural vegetable dyes for the rich coloration.

Authenticity is determined by examining the irregularity of hand-spinning in the wool, natural variations in dye lots known as abrash, structural wear consistent with age, and the specific characteristics of the foundation and knot density on the reverse.

An antique carpet provides warmth and texture to modern schemes, functioning effectively as a grounded anchor beneath neutral seating arrangements or contrasting with minimalist architectural features.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotating brushes, professional hand-washing by specialists in antique textiles, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight to protect the natural dyes.
