This antique Lilihan rug originates from Iran and features traditional design elements characteristic of the region. Crafted by Armenian artisans circa 1920, it showcases a red background with a navy border. The rug is made of wool on a cotton foundation, employing the Hamedan weave technique, known for its durability and strength.
Lilihan rugs are notable for their single weft construction and tightly woven structure. The symmetrical knotting technique contributes to their robustness, making them reliable and long-lasting pieces. The intricate designs often include curvilinear lattices, floral motifs, and geometric patterns, reflecting the artisans' versatility and attention to detail. The weaving method, which involves a coarse yet solid build, provides these rugs with a long pile and fine weave, resulting in a soft, velvety surface.
The rug predominantly features dark red as the base color. Accents of blue, navy, beige, and gold are integrated into the design, especially within the borders, to highlight and define the overall aesthetic. The central field is densely packed with a repetitive pattern of floral and paisley motifs, evoking a rich and intricate visual texture. Rather than a single dominant medallion, the rug displays a series of connected floral designs running lengthwise, creating a continuous and symmetrical flow.
The borders include both narrow and wider sections, each playing a critical role in framing the central design. The inner border is a narrow band of golden hue, adding a defining outline. The main border, wider in size, alternates between floral and geometric designs utilizing a palette of red, blue, and beige hues to contrast with the central field. This design approach further emphasizes the symmetry and balance that are hallmarks of Lilihan rugs.
Lilihan rugs often bear a close resemblance to Persian Sarouk rugs but are distinguishable due to their specific single weft construction. Over time, these rugs have garnered considerable appreciation in various markets, including the United States, for their captivating designs and practical durability. This particular piece’s rich color palette and intricate patterns exemplify the historical and artistic significance of Lilihan rugs within Persian weaving traditions.

Don’t take our word for it
Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.
I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!
Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.
In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!
Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
