This Lilian rug is over 110 years old! Medium pile. Lovely color.
This Lilian was woven in the Persian village of Lilian in the 1910s by Armenians who lived there at the time.
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.
