About the Item

This refined antique Persian Lilian rug exemplifies the elegance and technical precision for which the weaving villages of the Lilihan region are known. The field is densely ornamented with a finely articulated allover floral lattice, composed of scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes, and delicate botanical motifs arranged in perfect symmetry. The color palette is restrained and sophisticated, featuring warm ivory and sand tones accented by soft celadon, muted gold, pale blue, and touches of charcoal. A deep, charcoal-brown border frames the composition, richly decorated with continuous floral rosettes and vine work, providing contrast and visual depth while anchoring the overall design. Lilian rugs are prized for their balance between the formal elegance of city carpets and the warmth of village weaving. This example reflects that harmony beautifully: the drawing is crisp and controlled, yet the wool has a supple, luminous quality that gives the rug an inviting presence. Well-suited for a living room, dining room, or library, this antique Lilian offers timeless versatility. Its classic allover pattern integrates effortlessly into both traditional and contemporary interiors, making it an excellent choice for collectors and designers seeking a sophisticated Persian carpet with enduring appeal.
