About the Item
61449 Antique Persian Lilihan Rug, 04'00 x 05'04. This extraordinary antique Persian Lilihan rug unfolds like a ceremonial garden preserved in wool—an intimate work of art created for those who value heritage over trend. Its glowing red field radiates quiet authority, serving as a regal backdrop for an elegant Tree of Life composition, a timeless symbol of continuity, renewal, and divine order. Such rugs were never merely decorative; they were woven as cherished heirlooms, destined to anchor refined interiors with meaning, lineage, and cultivated taste.
Delicate rosettes and floral blossoms rise rhythmically from the field, each form rendered with disciplined symmetry and poetic restraint. The iconic Tree of Life motif, long revered in Persian visual culture, speaks to prosperity, balance, and spiritual ascent—an emblem especially prized in Lilihan weaving. The sumptuous palette allows the design to breathe, giving the composition an almost architectural calm that rewards close study and quiet contemplation.
Encircling the exclusive field, a deep navy carnation meander border introduces a note of stately contrast. Carnations, symbols of devotion and distinction, are paired with inner and outer brown boteh guard bands—ancient motifs of fertility, flame, and eternity. This layered framing creates a sense of procession, guiding the eye while reinforcing the rug’s sense of completeness and ceremonial gravity.
Hand-knotted entirely of wool and softened by decades of graceful aging, this Lilihan rug possesses the patina collectors seek but cannot manufacture. Its presence is confident yet understated—perfect for interiors curated with discernment and intention. Owning an exquisite work of art such as this is not simply acquiring a rug; it is claiming a chapter of Persian artistry, preserved for those who understand that true luxury is rooted in legacy, symbolism, and time.
