About the Item

Woven circa 1910, this Persian Lilihan carpet is a rich expression of the Afshan design—an intricate floral pattern often associated with elegance, movement, and visual harmony. Hand-knotted from handspun wool and dyed with natural vegetable pigments, the piece glows with jewel-toned reds, deep navy, and accents of soft green, cream, and sky blue. Its bold yet balanced composition is framed by a dense floral border that gives the entire carpet an ornate, almost regal character. Measuring 8'4" x 11'9" and preserved in excellent antique condition, this Lilihan is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of early 20th-century Persian weavers. Its plush pile and enduring materials ensure not just beauty, but lasting function. At Orley Shabahang, we specialize in selecting and curating rare and exquisite antique rugs. Each piece we offer represents a legacy of cultural artistry, thoughtfully preserved to be appreciated for generations to come.
