The History of Mahal:
Arak, formerly known as Sultanabad, is an important rug-producing city in the province of Markaz. The hand-woven Persian rugs made in the towns of Ferahan, Lylyan, Mahallat, Jozan, Malayer, Meshkabad, Mirabad, Sarough, Seraband and many small Kurdish villages are marketed in the city. In 1883 the first rug exporter set up shop in Arak and by the early 20th century, the city had become a key centre of the rug exporting business. The Persian rugs marketed in Arak display strong Kurdish influences and traces of a Turkish ancestry. Mahal rugs are of a very high quality and woven in Mahallat. Sarough is known for the beauty of the rugs that it produces. Lylyans are typical of the rugs woven in smaller, rug-making villages and have a distinct tribal look to them. Ferahans and Serabands are distinguished for the high quality of their weave and rich history. Mir rugs are woven in Mirabad. They are made of vegetable-dyed wool, sheared from the weaver's own sheep and hand-spun. They are woven using an asymmetrical Persian knot. Silk, common in older rugs, is rare in modern ones. A combination of wool and silk is sometimes used. The foundations are usually cotton.
Description of Sarough Style:
Sarough Persian rugs are hand-woven in Sarough, a large village near Arak. It is an important and historic rug-weaving centre. Sarough rug patterns feature floral vines. The main colours are red and navy.
Please note the original dimensions of this rug. Although supplied as modifiable, over stretching may distort the pattern. Also note that as a representation of a handmade product it may have less than perfect linage. This part of the beauty of such a rug.
