This magnificent antique Persian Lilihan rug, originating from the 1920s, is a celebrated example of the "American Sarouk" style, characterized by its fluid, curvilinear floral motifs and deep, saturated color palette. The rich madder-red field serves as a dramatic backdrop for a large-scale symmetrical arrangement of blossoming branches and stylized floral sprays in deep navy blue, teal, and soft gold. The composition is elegantly enclosed by a sophisticated navy blue border featuring a repeating floral vine motif that perfectly balances the grand scale of the central design.

Hand-knotted with high-quality, lustrous wool, this piece embodies the artistic excellence of early 20th-century village weaving. It presents in generally good condition, retaining its structural integrity while showcasing a genuine antique patina. Subtle age-related wear and areas of low pile contribute to its authentic vintage charm, telling the story of its century-long history. Its nearly square proportions make it a versatile and commanding focal point for a library, grand foyer, or a classic living room.
