Early 20th century Persian Sarouk Lilian hand knotted area rug or wide runner. The floral design of the rug is reminiscent of the beautiful stained glass windows in the great cathedrals of Europe such as the Notre Dame or the Chartres cathedrals in France. The rug has a red color field with floral designs in blue, green, pink, yellow, and cream. It has a navy blue border. The Persian Lilian rugs, in general, have more color variations in their designs. The central medallion and a vase on each end of the rug complete the overall design.
