About the Item

77565 Rare Antique Persian Lilihan Rug, 11'06 x 17'04.A sublime convergence of Persian romanticism and masterful craftsmanship, this hand-knotted wool antique Lilihan rug is a rare expression of poetic symmetry and botanical exuberance. Woven in the early 20th century in the Armenian village of Lilihan, this singular piece features the highly coveted Garden Panel design—known as Khesti—which transforms the carpet into a living tableau of divine horticulture. The signature field unfolds in an undulating ogee lattice, where each cell becomes its own sanctuary of floral splendor, blooming with radiant clusters of blossoms. This lyrical grid, a stylized orchard of paradise, reveals not only an unmatched weaving discipline but also a reverence for the sacred connection between earth and art. The rich, saturated palette lends this exquisite work of art its air of cultivated opulence. Shades of luminous crimson and regal navy blue are offset by warm bronze, rosewood, and botanical green, all drawn from natural dyes and aged to a mellow brilliance that can only be earned through time. Each petal and vine is rendered with painterly grace, giving the illusion of dimensional movement and seasonal change—like a garden alive with eternal spring. The exclusive design itself is an homage to Persian garden planning, echoing the quadripartite layouts of classical chahar bagh, where nature was both curated and celebrated. This is more than decoration; it is a living philosophy, knotted by hand, and imbued with cultural soul. Framing this precious masterpiece is an architectural cartouche border, a regal frame punctuated by cascading floral meanders that mirror the inner abundance. Delicately scaled inner and outer guard bands, filled with rhythmic scrolling vinework, provide structure without disrupting the organic lyricism of the field. This multilayered border not only grounds the visual intensity of the garden lattice but also heightens the sense of balance, proportion, and narrative depth. Every detail speaks to the grandeur of early 20th-century Persian village weaving—an era when rugs were not merely utilitarian objects but eloquent expressions of identity, beauty, and transcendent order. To own this one-of-a-kind antique Lilihan is to become the steward of an heirloom steeped in meaning and memory. Its rarity lies not only in its age or technical complexity but in its ability to bridge time, place, and emotion. It brings with it the soulful integrity of handcrafted legacy, offering more than aesthetic pleasure—it offers a conscious celebration of cultural continuity and artisan dignity. Whether gracing a private library, a gallery-like salon, or a collector’s sanctuary, this exceptional Lilihan rug invites a dialogue with the past while enhancing the prestige and emotional resonance of the present. It is a symbol of refined taste and a tribute to the enduring beauty of the human hand.
