This is one of those pieces that makes you stop and stare, a a perfect antique Lilihan and at a superb and uncommon size. It was handwoven in the early 20th century with vegetable-dyed wool that still glows with life.
The navy ground is richly decorated with blossoming vines, rosettes, and sprays of floral art, all framed in a maroon border that holds the composition together like a jewel box. The wool is soft to the touch, flexible, and healthy, a lovely a testament to the quality of weaving from the village of Lilihan.
Condition is excellent with a pretty even wool pile, ready to be styled and enjoyed for generations. She’s luxurious, sturdy, and has that magical sheen that only old wool can carry. A glowing heirloom that’s both versatile and elegant…and a sweetheart rug that can ground a room with warmth and history.
