7 by 11 Lilihan Persian Carpet

Size: 6 foot 11 inch by 11 foot.

I like Lilihan Persian Carpets. Thick rugs made with wonderful Persian wool in traditional designs 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.

This is a very attractive Lilihan carpet. These are a thick durable carpet made by Armenians in the Chahar Mahal area of Persia.
