Originating from the Persian region of Iran, this antique Lilihan rug showcases the traditional artistry typical of Lilihan designs crafted around circa 1920. Known for their intricate patterns and robust construction, Lilihan rugs were created by Armenian weavers using wool on a cotton foundation. This specific rug embodies a traditional style, with an amber background and a grey border, dominated by a prominent yellow hue.

The main field features an elaborate array of floral and geometric motifs, rendered in a harmonious and symmetrical manner. The continuous tapestry-like effect is achieved through intertwining stylized flowers, vines, and leaves. This uniform distribution of patterns across the field provides the rug with a balanced visual appeal, unlike other traditional Persian rugs that might prominently feature a central medallion.

The borders of the rug are well-defined and layered. The outermost border is a broad stripe with larger floral and geometric designs in blues, reds, and golds. Inside this main border are several smaller guard borders, each containing repeating motifs of flowers and vines, framing the central field and enhancing the sense of structure and containment.

Constructed using the Hamedan weave, the rug employs a symmetrical knot technique with a single weft, contributing to its durability and strength. The weave's tightness and the long pile create a densely packed, intricate pattern that is not only visually captivating but also practical for various settings.

The rug’s overall composition and construction methods reflect the high level of craftsmanship associated with Lilihan rugs. The use of high-quality materials and the artisans' skill in weaving add longevity to the piece, making it a significant representation of Persian weaving traditions from the early 20th century.
