SEMI-ANTIQUE PERSIAN LILLIHAN RUNNER, 2'8'' x 8': This red ground Persian rug has the motifs of a Sarouk but is referred to as a Lillihan in its weave. There are medallions composed of vases going in all four directions with sprays of flowers coming out of them done in colors of white green black, beige, pink and red. The rest of the field is filled in with sprays of flowers and leaves of different types and the border with more of the same but on a black ground for contrast. The two white ground guard borders complete the design.
CONDITION: Condition is good, ends need to be overcast. The rug has a slight bend to it due to tension problems in weaving but it is not very noticeable.
