About the Item

72824 Distressed Antique Persian Lilihan Rug, 09'10 X 12'07. This hand-knotted wool antique Persian Lilihan rug exudes the romantic patina of time, blending refined artistry with the rustic elegance of age. Its weathered tan field, softened through generations, carries an all-over botanical display that recalls the floral abundance of English Chintz textiles. Palmettes, serrated leaves, angular hyacinths, and delicate floral sprigs entwine in lyrical rhythm, creating a living tapestry of blossoms and foliage that speaks of both heritage and timeless sophistication. The artistry of the Lilihan school is evident in the rug’s elegant restraint and pastoral charm. Here, stylized flowers bloom with painterly detail, leafy tendrils unfurl in quiet symmetry, and rosettes punctuate the field like jewels in a country garden. The abrashed tones of moss, faded rose, and muted ochre lend the piece a nostalgic character, while its gentle wear testifies to a life of grace and refinement. This balance of imperfection and beauty is precisely what makes it so compelling to the discerning eye. Framed by a bold border of meandering blossoms on a deep ground, the composition achieves both depth and harmony. The contrast between the darker perimeter and the softened central field creates an aura of timeless gravitas, elevating the cherished treasure beyond rusticity into an heirloom of cultivated taste. Every detail speaks to the Lilihan weaver’s mastery in blending local tradition with universal appeal, a marriage of Persian artistry and Western romantic sensibilities. To acquire such a Lilihan rug is to claim more than a textile—it is to inherit a piece of cultural and aesthetic history. Its distressed elegance aligns perfectly with Cotswold countryside charm, English country houses, and heritage-inspired interiors, where authenticity is prized above all else. Reserved for those who understand that true luxury lies not in perfection, but in patina, this exquisite work of art is a symbol of status, refinement, and timeless beauty. Distressed. Desirable age wear. Abrash. Antique wash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 09'10 x 12'07.

Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century

Located in San Francisco, CA

Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century Heriz rugs and carpets were woven in Northwest Persia starting in the Mid-19th Century in response to a great increase in demand for rugs internationally. Prior to that, there were no rugs woven (in Persia) for export that exhibited this stylized drawing of plant and flower forms. The lower knot density and thicker pile became the standard for these rugs, which lent to a less formal aesthetic that remains popular to this day. The use of natural dyes in the Heriz workshops prevailed well into the 20th century, setting them apart from city workshops, which began to embrace synthetic dyes as early as the turn of the century. What was once one of the least expensive...
