This Persian Lilihan rug from 1920 is a hand-knotted wool and cotton piece in the Zaronim small format, measuring 138 cm high and 86 cm wide. The rectangular textile displays a rose-red central field filled with light blue and brown floral palmettes, surrounding a central medallion, and is framed by a dark navy blue patterned border with a rosette design. The pile shows a fresh hand-washed finish with newly secured ends and sides. Appropriate for interior schemes requiring a traditional Persian accent, this rug suits placement on floors in living areas, bedrooms, or studies. The balanced floral motifs and jewel-like palette lend character to spaces styled around an English Country House aesthetic, anchoring furniture arrangements with classic craftsmanship and colour.

FAQs

Originating from the Lilihan region in western Iran, these rugs were predominantly woven by Armenian villagers in the early 20th century, characterised by curvilinear floral patterns and distinctive rose-pink field shades.

These rugs typically feature a hand-knotted wool pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation using single-weft construction.

Authentic examples are recognised by their dense pile, single-strand weft construction between knot rows, vibrant salmon or rose-pink background tones, and blue or brown floral borders.

A small decorative rug functions effectively as a focal accent in entryways, beneath small occasional tables, or alongside bed frames to introduce warmth and texture.

Vacuum regularly without a rotary brush attachment, rotate periodically to ensure even wear, and address spills immediately by blotting with cold water and a clean cloth.
