This is an elegant and visually striking Rose Charcoal Ivory Gray Brown Blue Multi meticulously hand-knotted Antique Lilihan Sarouk rug from Persia. Its provenance is of 1930s and is in excellent condition for its age. It does not have any low pile or stains. This rug is identified as a Lilihan Sarouk because its floral design is very similar to the floral sprays used in Sarouks of the nearby regions. However the shade of rose used in the rug is highly characteristic of Lilihans woven by skilled Armenian artisans. Also the rug is woven in single weft Hamadan design. At a Palace size of 9 feet 6 inches by 25 feet and a rich color palette the rug is a collector's delight. Available for in-person and video consultation by appointment only. For the USA home décor market, this rug is described with shopper-friendly terms such as area rug, oriental area rug, living room rug, bedroom rug, dining room rug, handmade rug, wool rug, and elegant interior accent, while keeping the original material, color, weave, design character, and construction details intact.
Story Behind the Art: Produced south of the city of Arak by Armenians in Persia, Lilihan rugs are known for their design. Traditionally designed with a curvilinear lattice with traditional floral motifs, these rugs also feature geometric designs. The Lilihan rugs are woven using the sturdy Hamedan (single weft) weave and using a symmetrical Turkish Knot which makes it tightly flatwoven and extremely durable. With their soft surface, distinctive colors and exceptional craftsmanship, Lilihan rugs are veritable works of art.
