Story Behind the Art: Lilihan rugs were traditionally woven by Armenian artisans south of Arak in Persia and are admired for combining floral Persian elegance with geometric village weaving traditions. Their designs frequently feature curvilinear lattice layouts filled with floral sprays, medallions, scrolling vines, and botanical motifs that create richly layered decorative surfaces full of movement and artistic warmth. Unlike more formal city workshop carpets, Lilihan rugs often incorporate geometric influences that give them a softer and more relaxed visual personality. Woven using the durable Hamedan single-weft technique together with symmetrical Turkish knotting, Lilihan rugs possess tightly woven structures known for exceptional durability and long-lasting quality. Crafted from soft high-quality wool and vibrant vegetable-dyed yarns, these rugs remain highly prized for their artistic character, luxurious texture, and timeless Persian beauty.
