1920's Persian Lilihan Carpet with Preppy Jacobean Style

About the Item

72590 Antique Persian Lilihan Rug, 03'07 x 04'10. Bathed in regal tones of deep wine and sapphire, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Lilihan rug presents a radiant tableau of floral splendor and timeless artistry. At the heart of the composition lies a dramatic cusped medallion—its shape both floral and flame-like—encasing a round central rosette flanked by twin fleur-de-lis pendants. This commanding center blossoms outward, anchoring the rug’s intricate botanical choreography with commanding elegance and poise, a motif reminiscent of classical Sarouk designs yet infused with the distinct spirit of Lilihan’s local heritage. The rich burgundy red field—reminiscent of aged pomegranate—hosts an allover pattern of exuberant floral sprigs, curling leaves, and stylized palmettes that ripple across the surface like a well-tended Persian garden. The design dances in mirror-like symmetry, as if woven from memory and myth, each motif echoing with symbolic resonance. This lush tableau is framed by four spandrels that arc gently into the composition, their corners blooming with arabesque foliage that softens the field's bold geometry. Encircling this botanical marvel is a border of extraordinary refinement: a luminous botanical main border composed of scrolling vinework, gently flanked by a pair of floral meander guard bands. These are further defined by delicate sawtooth guard strips, creating a layered frame that draws the eye inward while celebrating the craftsmanship of the outer edge. The interplay of golden saffron, lapis blue, and madder red adds dimension and vitality, with each hue deepened by the patina of age and the gentle wear of time. This Lilihan rug is not merely a decorative object—it is a woven legacy. It whispers stories from the early 20th century, when Persian village weavers poured their artistry into every knot and motif. With its poetic rhythm and timeless grace, this rug evokes the gardens of Shiraz and the courtly grandeur of Qajar Iran. Whether laid upon the floor or hung upon the wall, it is a piece that transcends trends, bringing warmth, history, and beauty into any space it graces. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'07 x 04'10. Date: 1920's. Early 20th Century.
