Origin

Lilian rugs come – like Hamadan rugs – from north-west Iran. Unlike the weavers of Hamadan rugs, though, the makers of Lilian rugs are of Armenian descent. In Iran they are therefore also called Armenibaft Lilian. Lilian rugs made over the past few decades are for the most part knotted fairly coarsely. The pile wool, which is usually good and is knotted into a cotton foundation (cotton weft & warp), nevertheless makes Lilians very good, hard-wearing rugs.

The most striking feature of Lilian rugs is the cross-shaped floral medallion used so often, surrounded by large flower and leaf tendrils in a four-fold symmetrical layout of the field. The colouring is usually a strong red with details picked out in dark blue. More rarely, you also come across Lilian rugs with a large-scale all-over Herati motif.

Material

The pile of this Lilian was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by shearing sheep gently. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a range of impressive qualities: thanks to the natural grease in the wool, the surface repels water droplets and is therefore naturally proofed against dirt. Wool also provides excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and absorbs sound.

The weft and warp threads of this Lilian are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Lilian. It had owners before you who valued it and lived with it. It was knotted around 56. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good, though only partly restored, condition. The pile is worn in places, and the edges could do with some repair here and there. We have not fully restored this Lilian, because we feel it has a special presence just as it is. If that is what you would like, we will of course happily carry on restoring the rug for you. We can bring almost any rug back to near-perfect condition.
