This Persian rug, crafted in the Lilihan region around 1915, represents traditional design elements with an amber background and a medium blue border. The main color is yellow, and the rug is made of wool on a cotton foundation, reflecting the typical construction techniques used in Lilihan rugs of that era.
Lilihan rugs, produced in Iran by Armenian artisans, are known for their intricate designs that often use curvilinear lattices and floral motifs, as well as geometric patterns. They are constructed with a single weft and exhibit a coarse but tightly woven structure, providing durability. Featuring a symmetrical knot and crafted with the Hamedan weave, Lilihan rugs are valued for their strength and longevity. The wool pile offers a velvety texture, and the overall craftsmanship varies based on the skill of the artisan and the quality of the materials used.
In this particular rug, the central section does not prominently feature a single medallion; instead, it showcases a uniformly patterned area with a vertical arrangement of stylized botanical motifs, possibly depicting flowers and vines. The design is mirrored along the central vertical axis, contributing to a balanced and symmetrical appearance.
The primary background color of the rug is an amber hue, while the motifs within the field incorporate blues, greens, and coral tones, providing a rich but subtle contrast. The border design consists of multiple layers: a thin inner border with a repetitive geometric pattern in dark blue, and a wider main border that displays intricate floral and curvilinear elements using deeper shades of blue and accented coral and beige tones.
This rug exemplifies the traditional aesthetics of Lilihan rugs, with its symmetrical pattern and rich color palette. The construction method ensures durability, making it suitable for various settings while maintaining its visual appeal.
