They are highly decorative when it comes to aesthetic appeal, so more buyers are attracted to them and, in turn, the best Mahal rugs have become very hard to find in the market nowadays. Since the carpets originating in the Mahal were a result of the expanding cottage industry, they were primarily woven on the family level. Therefore, the carpets featured loose or moderate weaving, with a somewhat thick pile that resembled nomadic and tribal rugs. Nonetheless, Mahal rugs have successfully taken the spotlight beside the much praised and highly respected Sarouk Carpet style. Both Sarouk and Mahal rugs are from the same Arak region and feature a strong, fine knot. One of the most highly desired carpets on the international market, the Mahal rug follows a much more exclusive class when it comes to the style, also known as the Ivory Mahals. They are well praised and highly sought after for their glowing ivory to beige backgrounds that feature detailed motifs.
