Lillian handmade carpets of Iran
In the south of Arak, there is a small area called Kamreh, where Armenians live in one of its famous villages called Lillian, whose profession has been carpet weaving since ancient times. Their bots are woven into a weft with a knot and are dyed red with a velvety appearance.
Lillian carpets are more or less similar to American Sarough carpets in terms of design and to some extent in terms of color. The middle bergamot hangs like a spider in the middle of the string in the text of the carpet, and the two ends of the bergamot look like two peacock umbrellas. The rest of the text of the carpet is covered with a bouquet of flowers. Lillian carpets also use pink fabrics and all sizes are woven.
At the end of the First World War, an American company that was active in the field of carpet trade in Arak region invented and selected a number of designs according to the common plans in Arak and Sarooq according to American tastes. In different sizes in red fields with a crimson border or light beige, it has been woven in large numbers and exported to the United States.
