Semi-Antique Darjezine Lilihan Area Rug - 6’10” x 9’0”
#2550 Darjezine Lilihan Area Rug
6’-10” x 9’-0”
AGE & ORIGIN:
2nd Q. 20th C.
Persia
OVERVIEW:
Many of the hallmarks of Lilihan rugs dot the field of this piece especially the exaggerated floral motifs. Unlike others though, this boasts an ivory field, as opposed to the painted or darker hues that are typically seen in the rugs from Lilihan.
Darjezine was a major exporter of rugs in the early and mid 20th C. which would take on appealing designs from other districts and create their version of it. This is true of this piece, and while Lilihan is certainly the main inspiration, there are aspects of the weave that are reminiscent of Malayer and Mahal rugs as well.
Where higher pile of the rug remains, it is remarkably soft, a good indicator that this is an earlier export piece of higher quality. We have safely assumed that it is from the 2nd Q. of the 20th C. but it’s very possible it’s slightly older, perhaps even 1910-1920.
CONDITION:
Some areas of foundation exposure, some discolored areas, one small area of color bleed
