Brief History of Lilihan rugs
although
a wide range of carpet and mat sizes are produced, the most common
sizes found are 4 x 6 to 8 x 10 feet. The use of a longer pile
traditionally appealed to Americans. The Lilihan rugs are executed using
the Hamadan (single-weft) weave, typically this means that they have
one heavy cotton weft and are made with thick, first quality wool. The
Lilihan rugs are the only fabrics in the Sultanabad region to be
single-weft. Lilihan carpets and rugs are coarsely, but tightly flat
woven, making them extremely durable.
Design
Lilihan carpets and rugs are similar to
carpets in colors, style and thickness.6 According to Leslie Stroh of
Rug News, there are about 3000 different designs for Hamadan rugs. This
is attributed to 1500 villages in the Hamadan region that each produced
two styles of designs. While some geometric patterns can be found
amongst Lilihan carpets, the more prevalent designs are traditional
floral motifs.
Colors
The
pink color of the weft, distinguishes the Lilihan carpets from all
others. Khaki and brown also accentuate the primarily salmon field
color.
