A rich and regal antique Persian rug from the village of Lilihan, this lustrous beauty has a lot of offer. Measuring approximately 3'8" x 4'6", its square-ish proportions make it a unique find. The wool has a velvety softness and an undeniable glow, a result of the preserved lanolin oils from the sheep it came from, giving the rug a luxurious sheen that feels alive even a century later.
What's not to love? Its palette features deep, rich jewel tones that are both moody and enchanting. The floral art is intricate and includes stunning pomegranate motifs, adding to its beautiful artistry inspired by nature. The vegetable-dyed wool has aged beautifully, retaining its vibrancy while developing a patina that tells a story of history and craftsmanship.
This Persian village rug is a weighted and substantial piece with a presence that commands attention. It’s in lovely condition for its age, with scattered wear that adds to its character and charm. Please see the many pics for full character and condition. Handwoven circa 1920, it embodies the art and tradition of Persian weaving.
Perfect for those who appreciate the moody elegance of antique rugs and their ability to weave history into the fabric of your home. A true gem for collectors or anyone looking to bring old-world charm and warmth into their space. Thanks for looking at this piece and for choosing Blue Parakeet Rugs!
