{"product_id":"black-antique-rug-hand-knotted-no-at40685","title":"Black Persian Oriental Rug [SIZE] Hand-Knotted | No. AT40685","description":"\u003cp\u003eA deep black field anchors this hand-knotted Persian rug, its geometric pattern rendered in angular repeating motifs that carry the quiet authority of age. The black ground has softened over decades into a rich, dimensional tone, with the pile showing the gentle mellowing that only genuine antique pieces develop. What reads at a distance as a single dark color reveals, on closer inspection, subtle tonal shifts where the wool has worn and faded with graceful unevenness across the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven in the Lilian tradition of northwestern Iran's Azerbaijan region, this rug belongs to a lineage known for firm structure and densely packed geometric compositions. Lilian weavers worked in wool on a wool foundation, producing rugs built to last generations, and the material here carries the lanolin-rich quality that keeps the pile resilient long after lesser rugs have deteriorated. The geometric repertoire reflects tribal Caucasian influences that traveled south into Persian weaving villages over centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts dark palette and angular geometry suit library settings, studies, and dining rooms with wood tones or stone flooring.
