Originating from the Mahallat region of Persia (Central Iran), Mahal rugs are widely sought after by interior designers and connoisseurs alike thanks to their free yet playful designs, which are complementary with the majority of home interiors.

Mir rugs originate from the Arak province of Western Persia. They used to be referred to as 'Seraband' (also spelled Saraband) rugs in the 19th and 20th century but for unknown reasons have more recently been called Mir rugs.
