Lilihan Persian Rugs
This exquisite 5'0" x 3'5" Lilihan Persian rug showcases the masterful artistry of semi-antique weaving, displaying a magnificent medallion design enriched with intricate Shah Abbasi and Herati motifs. The striking brick red field provides a bold foundation for the ornate central medallion, while cream and navy blue accents create sophisticated contrast throughout the composition. Burgundy, pink, and brown tones weave through the traditional patterns, complemented by subtle touches of black, olive, rust red, and beige that add depth and complexity to this remarkable piece.
Originating from the Markazi province of Persia, Lilihan rugs represent centuries of weaving excellence, with this particular example dating back 40-60 years to showcase the refined techniques passed down through generations of master craftsmen. The region's weavers were renowned for their ability to create rugs that balanced traditional Persian aesthetics with innovative color palettes, resulting in pieces that captured both classical elegance and distinctive character. This semi-antique treasure reflects the golden era of Lilihan production, when skilled artisans perfected the art of asymmetrical Persian knotting using the finest natural wool and cotton.
The central medallion, known as Toranj in Persian tradition, symbolizes the cosmic order and eternal beauty, while the surrounding Shah Abbasi palmettes represent paradise gardens and divine protection. The intricate Herati fish pattern borders signify abundance and prosperity, creating layers of symbolic meaning that transform this rug into more than mere decoration. Each motif has been carefully hand-knotted to preserve centuries-old symbolic traditions, making this a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that elevates any space with its profound cultural heritage.
The rich brick red foundation anchors the design while cream highlights illuminate the intricate details, creating a sophisticated palette perfect for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Navy blue accents provide cooling balance to the warm tones, while the burgundy and pink elements add romantic depth. At 5'0" x 3'5" feet, this versatile size works beautifully as an accent piece in entryways, beside beds, or in cozy reading nooks where its semi-antique character can be fully appreciated.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this authentic Lilihan treasure, where the natural wool pile reveals the skilled craftsmanship of Persian weavers who created each knot by hand. The cotton foundation provides lasting stability while the asymmetrical Persian knots create the characteristic texture and durability that Lilihan rugs are celebrated for, ensuring this semi-antique beauty will continue to grace homes for generations to come.
