This antique Persian Lilihan rug, dating to around 1925, exemplifies traditional craftsmanship from Iran. The rug features a classic design on a warm amber background with a striking navy border. The main color is a rich yellow, adding vibrancy to its overall appearance. Made from wool on a cotton foundation, the rug embodies durability and a fine weave texture that is characteristic of Lilihan rugs.
Lilihan rugs are traditionally crafted by Armenian artisans in the region, known for their expertise in carpet making. These rugs often display intricate designs, incorporating curvilinear lattices, floral motifs, and geometric patterns, showcasing their artistic versatility. The construction technique used in these rugs involves a single weft and a tightly woven structure, contributing to their robustness. Employing a symmetrical knot and utilizing the Hamedan weave, Lilihan rugs are known for their strength and longevity.
The rug in question features a highly intricate floral and botanical pattern, with dense, closely packed motifs uniformly distributed across its surface, giving it a symmetrical and balanced look. The centerpiece of the rug is a prominent, meticulously detailed floral medallion, surrounded by various floral and leaf patterns that mirror the central design, creating a harmonious flow.
The dominant background color is a warm amber tone, complemented by accent shades of blue, navy, and subtle hints of cream, emphasizing the design elements against the backdrop. Darker shades, predominantly navy and black, are employed to outline and highlight the motifs, providing a striking contrast.
The border design comprises an inner band featuring smaller, repeating floral motifs, followed by a wider main border that showcases a repetitive floral and vine pattern, echoing the dense design of the central area.
Known for their durability and visual appeal, Lilihan rugs were also appreciated in the American market. They sometimes underwent washing and painting enhancements to increase their allure for Western buyers. Despite these modifications, Lilihan rugs are recognized for their strength, long pile, and fine weave, offering a velvety surface and significant durability. The method of a single weft design used in Lilihan rugs also sets them apart, even as they bear some resemblance to Persian Sarouk rugs with their all-over patterns.
This antique Lilihan rug stands out not only for its exquisite design and craftsmanship but also for its historical significance, representing a notable example of Persian weaving traditions.
