61176 Vintage Red Persian Lilihan Rug, 05'08 x 10'02.

In the heart of this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Lilihan rug, a horizontal floral bouquet medallion stretches across the red field, exuding a sense of natural harmony and grace. Flanked by elegant curled Ram's Horn motifs, the medallion blossoms into a vivid Tree of Life, its intricate branches reaching out in symmetry, creating a visual rhythm that enchants with every glance. The elements of nature are brought to life as the design unfolds with the vitality of blooms and leaves, each carefully rendered with fine detail, creating a sense of movement and life across the Lilihan rug’s surface.

The red field, bathed in the warmth of vibrant hues, is adorned with a stunning array of botanical motifs. These include pomegranates, hyacinths, tulips, and rosettes—symbols of fertility, growth, and prosperity—interwoven with esoteric tribal symbols that add layers of meaning and history to this already rich design. The Tree of Life motifs are mirrored at both ends of the Persian rug, creating a sense of balance, while the radiant pomegranates and flowers anchor the composition, offering a grounded beauty that resonates with cultural significance.

Large-scale blooming Iris flowers emerge from the corner spandrels, their soft apricot tones juxtaposed with the deep reds and blues, adding a dramatic flair that is both delicate and bold. These corner motifs draw the viewer’s eye inward, guiding them through the intricate medallion and its surrounding motifs, inviting a sense of discovery as they explore the Lilihan rug’s layers of design. The use of vivid contrast and balanced symmetry imbues the piece with a timeless elegance, making it an extraordinary addition to any collection.

Encircling this stunning composition is a floral bud border on a red backdrop, flanked by inner and outer carnation meander guard bands set against a deep navy blue background. The rich border encapsulates the design with its vibrant, flowing motifs, creating a sense of completeness and framing the medallion with a sense of harmony. This woven wonder, with its masterful blend of botanical themes and rich symbolism, brings the beauty of Persian artistry to life, offering a sense of history, culture, and nature in a single, breathtaking piece.
