Geometric Lilihans, like this one, are not as common. Lilihan is in what used to be called the Kemereh district. Other major Lilihan rug producers in the region include Khomeine and Reihan. Lilihan (Lylyan) rugs, with their longer pile, were made primarily for the United States and less prominent in Europe. One of the main characteristics of Lilihan rugs is the pink rose colored weft. They are slightly more coarse, but tightly flat woven, making them particularly durable. Lilihan carpets are similar to Sarouk rugs in style, thickness and color. This lavishly detailed antique Persian Lilihan rug features a geometric allover repeating pattern with a variegated brown color palette that radiates regal composition. The refined allure of the angular patterns in this beautiful antique Lilihan shine through in the series of guard borders complementing the allover pattern in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Esmaili Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50095287370021,"sku":"71885","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/7392\/7717\/files\/products-71885_ygtu-0r.jpg?v=1753580778"},{"product_id":"5-x-6-blue-antique-persian-lilihan-rug-71894","title":"5 x 6 - Blue Antique Persian Lilihan Rug - 71894","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e71894 Antique Persian Lilihan Rug with Traditional Modern Style 05'06 x 06'04.\u003c\/strong\u003e With ornate details, well-balanced symmetry and refined colors, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Lilihan rug astounds with its beauty.

Their rhythmic spacing and exquisitely drawn petals reveal hands practiced in motifs passed down for generations—iconic motifs that carried both aesthetic beauty and deeply woven cultural meaning. In elite interiors, this frame becomes architectural, creating visual thresholds that lend structure, intimacy, and grandeur all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the connoisseur who values heritage, handwork, and the soft radiance of genuine age, this Lilihan masterpiece stands as a true collectible treasure.
