About the Item
61492 Antique Persian Lilihan Rug, 05'01 x 06'03. Woven in the storied workshops of Lilihan, this one-of-a-kind, antique Persian rug is a masterclass in quiet opulence and cultivated restraint. Hand knotted in lustrous wool, it reflects a period when Persian weaving was defined by balance, precision, and an unspoken confidence reserved for the most discerning patrons. The midnight navy field immediately commands attention—not through excess, but through depth, elegance, and authority.
An allover Herati pattern unfolds across the surface with mesmerizing rhythm. Each iconic diamond-floral motif, with its curling lanceolate leaves and rosette centers, feels perfectly measured, creating a sense of continuity that is both soothing and intellectually refined. The sumptuous palette allows the design to breathe, transforming the rug into a visual tapestry of movement and harmony rather than ornament alone.
Framing this exceptional composition is a richly colored red rosette border, offering a dramatic yet dignified contrast to the dark field. Flanked by inner and outer carnation meander guard bands, the border introduces a refined architectural structure—echoing classical Persian garden walls that enclose and protect beauty within. The carnation motifs, long associated with devotion and elegance, lend an additional layer of symbolic richness.
Rare, dignified, and unmistakably aristocratic, this precious Lilihan rug is an exquisite work of art for collectors who value legacy over trend and craftsmanship over spectacle. It belongs in interiors where history is curated rather than displayed—spaces defined by confidence, heritage, and impeccable taste. This is not simply a rug, but an heirloom artifact that quietly elevates its surroundings with enduring prestige.
