Woven around the historic weaving centres of Sultanabad (today’s Arak) in Mahallat town in Iran, Mahal rugs marry village spontaneity with room‑size ambition. While late‑19th‑century exports made them famous, workshops in the region still produce new Mahal carpets today. Their oversized floral lattices float atop supple wool foundations, lending relaxed elegance to informal living rooms and eclectic interiors.
