Mahal rugs are considered to be in the family of oriental rugs, due to their bold floral designs. They often use classical medallions as centerpieces, or as well as all over designs of vine scrolls and palmetts. These specific rugs tend to be of a coarser weave, which makes the wool look less lustrous. Traditionally these Mahal’s come in dark reds, and blues, with highlights of soft greens and ivory’s.
