It has occurred to me that we never addressed the issue of Persian Antique Mahal rugs vs. Sultanabad rugs. There is a growing misconception that Sultanabad rugs & Mahal rugs were both woven in the same place – Arak. But in reality, Sultanabad rugs were woven in Arak while Mahal carpets were woven in the city of Mahallat which is also known as Mahallat-e Bala or Mahallat Bala, Mahal rugs tend to have a coarser weave, the wool is not as lustrous and the design is not as refined as those that were produced in Arak ( Sultanabad ). Price is also a factor since the carpets from Sultanabad is considered better quality, and are feature designs that are more interesting they were always more expensive than their Mahal counterparts. Both rug productions incorporate patterns that are not exactly floral or geometric, a unique feature that makes them extremely versatile and can be incorporated in almost any setting or decor. When decorating with antique rugs from Sultanabad, it is useful to know a little bit about the background of these rugs. Indeed, antique Mahal carpets offer one of the most interesting histories of any antique rug style. The Persian Mahal rug featured in the photo above, in a gorgeous room designed by Lori Morris Interiors, is a wonderful example of those Persian Mahal carpets that feature a softer, earthier palette. This room also showcases just how impeccably a beautifully woven Persian antique Mahal carpet can tie together a space, most especially when that space features attractive furnishings that play off of the rug’s superior qualities. Decorating with a beautiful antique Mahal rug is an experience that is as unique and varied as these magnificent carpets themselves. For fine interior designers and art enthusiasts, there is nothing comparable to the rarity and beauty of a Mahal Persian carpet from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These rugs are regarded as some of the best examples of folk art weaving, and they are prized for their sophisticated yet whimsical aesthetic.
