Mahal rugs are icons of Persian popular art and have a sophisticated and highly decorative aesthetic. As a result, the finest antique Mahal rugs have become very difficult to find on the international market.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\">Mahal carpets designs are semi-geometric, with either medallion or allover patterns. Mahals are influenced by Sultanabad styles but have more motifs throughout the carpet.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\">The best Mahal-style rugs have variations on classic Persian patterns, such as <i>herati<\/i> (diamonds with wavy leaves), <i>mina khani<\/i> (flower) and <i>harshang <\/i>(dragon and flower), often in pastel and sand tones. Many contain these geometric patterns scattered throughout the area of <span class=\"s1\">\u200b\u200b<\/span>the rug while others feature an open field with central medallion shape, also often found in other styles of Persian rugs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2e2439f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default e-parent\" data-id=\"2e2439f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-026d9f9 lakit-col-width-auto-no\" data-id=\"026d9f9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a3a516 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9a3a516\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Mahal rugs were made by Persian families within the Mahal and surrounding villages in northwestern Persia.
