Where were these carpets made?

These carpets were produced in Western Persia, specifically in the Chahar Mahal region and surrounding village workshops. Production centres like Sultanabad and the broader Mahal district supplied both local markets and nineteenth-century European trade.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your room to allow a uniform border of exposed floorboards around the perimeter of the carpet. Consider room-size or oversize formats for principal living spaces and narrow runners for hallways. Large formats require adequate clearance from doorways and heavy furniture placement to display the central field design properly.
