We are pleased to offer this Lilian from the first quarter of 20th century,measuring 6.3 x 5.Although the pattern ultimately derives from Sarouk carpets,it is more spacious and large-scaled,with an attractive use of open space.Lilian rugs have a bolder appearance and a more direct appeal than their Sarouk counterparts.Consequently they have always been popular among American buyers.Another appealing characteristic of Lilians is that their scatter pieces are always wider than their counterparts of other weaving regions.Whereas places like Sarouk,kashan or Kerman produce 4x6 sizes,in Lilian the standard is approximately 5x6,giving them a squarish format,which is what we are offering here.This is a very well-balanced and well-drawn rug and as shown in one of the pictures, very tightly woven with a crisp and clear back.The wool pile has a soft and silky quality to it.The pile on this Lilian varies from medium to low.Therefore it is not an even pile.This piece has been cleaned professionally and is free of any odors or stains.
