Lillihan Antique Rug, Salmon Red Khaki - 4'7" x 6'6"

About the Item

Introducing a beautiful Lillihan rug, a stunning example of traditional rug weaving. The rug's deep pink background is eye-catching and bold, providing a perfect canvas for the intricate design that adorns it. The centerpiece of the rug is a large medallion that spans the entire length and width of the rug. Composed of floral motifs that are all attached at the center, the medallion is a true masterpiece of design. The center of the medallion features a circular flower encircled by smaller flowers, with colors of pink, light-blue, medium-blue, and red used to keep the rug light and fresh. The outline of the medallion is also flower-shaped, with jagged edges reminiscent of the petals of a flower. The medallion continues upward and downward with a stem to a red spade motif with more floral designs within it, creating a sense of continuity and harmony in the rug's design. The center medallion also connects to four khaki motifs that are slightly higher and lower than the center and to the left and right of the center. These khaki motifs also feature light flower motifs within them, creating a sense of balance and contrast in the rug's design. To tie the rug together, the border uses a rich blue color that provides a sense of comfort and contrast to the rug. The border features a thin and light geometric boteh-like design in red, adding a touch of design without taking away from the rug's beautiful background color. In all, this Lillihan rug is a true work of art, showcasing the beauty and craftsmanship of traditional rug weaving. Its bold pink background, intricate medallion design, and stunning border all come together to create a rug that is both elegant and timeless. A true masterpiece, this Lillihan rug is sure to be treasured for years to come.
