Exquisite!!! Rich jewel tones. Soft silky wool pile.
A beautiful Lilian rug woven in the Persian village of Lilian by Armenians who lived there at the time - early 20th C. The wool pile on this one is incredibly soft.
Lilian rugs are incredibly special because this village of Lilian is no longer inhabited by the Armenians who left in mid 20th century for larger cities. No more Lilian rugs will ever be made. They are pieces of history that are exquisite and represent a finite period of time in Lilian.
