Where were vintage mahal rugs made?

These rugs were woven in the Chahar Mahal valley and surrounding districts of Western Persia. Village workshops and tribal groups produced them for both local use and export. Production centres such as Sultanabad also contributed to the regional output, blending commercial enterprise with traditional weaving methods.

How do I identify a mahal rug?

Look for robust wool pile, traditional Persian floral or all-over patterns, and sturdy cotton foundations. Many examples feature generous room-size dimensions or runner formats. Regional characteristics often include terracotta fields, ivory grounds, and distinctive village or tribal motifs indicative of Western Persian origin.

What is a tacheh rug?

A tacheh is a traditional woven grain or wheat-sack made by Luri-Bakhtiari nomads in the Chahar Mahal region. These functional textiles were utilised for storage and transport within tribal camps. They feature dense weave structures and tribal designs that reflect the domestic utility of nomadic life in Western Persia.

How should I care for an old carpet?

Vacuum gently without using a rotating brush bar to protect the hand-spun wool pile and cotton foundation. Professional cleaning tailored to antique textiles helps maintain the integrity of the natural dyes. Positioning the rug away from direct, harsh sunlight prevents uneven fading of the natural colours across the field and borders.
