FAQs

Lilian rugs originate from the Markazi province in Iran, traditionally recognised by their robust construction, dense wool, and prominent floral medallions set against rich red fields.

These pieces are handknotted using high-grade hand-spun wool on cotton foundations, utilising asymmetric Persian knots and natural vegetable dyes for lasting colour durability.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the irregular hand-knotted fringe, natural dye variations, knot density on the reverse side, and the characteristic wear patterns of aged wool.

Layer the rug over neutral sisal flooring or position it as a focal centrepiece in a living room to introduce rich texture, heritage pattern, and warmth to contemporary spaces.

Preserve the fibres by vacuuming gently without a rotating brush, rotating the piece annually to ensure even wear, and professional specialist cleaning when required.
