5108 · 7'10" x 11'2" Persian Lilihan Oversized Rug

The cream quatrefoil inside the dark brown medallion makes this a charming rug. Dainty scrolling vines and floral sprays in rose, camel and slate blue cover the deep red field. In the middle sits a dark brown medallion holding a rose diamond, and inside it a cream quatrefoil of four lobes circles a small red flower. Lobed pendants stretch toward the top and bottom. Splendid camel spandrels fill the four corners, scrolling with leaves and blossoms. The main border has a dark burgundy ground, carrying red and rose rosettes with small floral motifs, with a narrow guard stripe of cream and red on either side. Pale, scraped patches show in the upper right and the middle of the field, where the pile is low and the foundation shows. The red ground and camel corners hold the center of this warm rug. At 7'10" by 11'2", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
