Antique Coral Square Lilihan Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran Persia, Circa Date: 1920s. This charming square Lilihan piece exemplifies the robust, village-woven character typical of early 20th-century Persian rugs. The field is dominated by a warm, oxidized coral hue, providing a rich, earthy contrast to the deep indigo and muted olive tones used in the primary motifs. The composition features a highly stylized, almost graphic interpretation of the Tree of Life motif, repeating vertically across the field. While many Lilihans utilize a central medallion, this example employs an allover design structure, allowing the eye to travel fluidly across the surface without interruption. The knotting is dense, preserving the crisp definition of the geometric elements within the narrow border system of this square rug.
