Lilihan / 10958

A Lilihan articulated in wool across 12' 8" x 21' 2"; this all-over floral composition reads with a warm neutral ground, deep brown arabesques and cream highlights. Palmettes, small rosettes and scrolling vines interlock in a disciplined, finely scaled pattern whose drawing remains clear despite a soft, lived-in surface. Low distress preserves pile luster and detail, while subtle abrash and gentle wear lend dimensional warmth. The piece conveys a quiet provincial refinement, the kind of tactile presence that reveals craft and time. Circa 1890 - 1910. This antique rug balances pattern clarity with an approachable patina.
