Lylyan Rugs: Lilihan Carpet late 20th century

Lylyan Rugs: Lilihan Carpet northwest Persia

Size: 6 foot 10 inch by 11 foot 3 inch.

This is a beautiful thick plush Persian carpet. I make no secret that I like Lilihan Carpets as a comfortable attractive floorcovering. This is a thick carpet made with wonderful Persian wool in the traditional designs that make a comfortable addition to a home. That is why I was drawn to this rug. It has the comfortable look and feel of the carpets that I grew up with. It is hard to explain the attraction of these but if you could just walk across this carpet barefoot you would understand.
