About the Item

This elegant antique Lilian runner features a richly detailed allover floral composition, densely woven against a deep espresso-brown field and highlighted with ivory, soft taupe, and muted stone tones. The tightly packed botanical motifs—stylized palmettes, blossoms, and vinework—are characteristic of Lilian village weaving, known for its fine drawing and decorative clarity. A narrow border of scrolling floral forms in complementary neutrals frames the field, reinforcing the rug’s long, architectural proportions while maintaining a refined, balanced aesthetic. Subtle abrash and natural dye variation add depth and warmth, enhancing the rug’s antique character without overpowering the design. Lilian rugs are admired for their durable construction, elegant floral vocabulary, and versatility, and this long-format example is especially well suited for hallways, stair landings, kitchens, or layered interiors seeking a sophisticated Persian antique with visual richness and timeless appeal. Rug Size: 3'0" × 9'0"
