sarouk mahal

Mahal is a grade of Sarouk that is thinner than an American Sarouk.Between the World Wars this was the quintessential Persian rug for the American market. It is popular to condemn the American Sarouk as a travesty but in my opinion it is just a commercial response to the American market.Trade names for Sarouks include: Feraghan, Viss, Mohajaran Sarouk or Sarough, Sarouk, Mahal, Mushkabad.
