About the Item

The geographical region of Northwest Persia with its’ cities and villages was at the forefront of the large-scale export of rugs and carpets in the late 19th century. The merchants of Tabriz, a large city that is the capital of Persian Azerbaijan, are credited with the successful promotion of the carpet industry to the west. Many of the smaller villages in this area produced weavings with distinct characteristics. Lilihan rugs and carpets have single-weft construction and are woven in the Kemereh district to the south of Arak. Their designs and colorations mimic those of Sarouk carpets. This carpet has an overall floral pattern on an indigo field within a plum palmette and leafy vine border. In excellent overall condition. 1' 3" x 8' 9".
