Antique Tabriz Persian Carpet by Haji Jalili. 16 ft x 25 ft 4 in

By Haji Khalili

Located in New York, NY

Finely woven antique oversized Tabriz Persian carpet by Haji Jalili, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian rugs, circa 1900. Size: 16 ft x 25 ft 4 in (4.88 m x 7.72 m) It only takes one look at this beautiful Persian Tabriz rug to know that it is the work of a master weaver. This elegant and refined antique rug was produced during a time when Tabriz was undergoing a revival as the center of the Persian rug weaving craft. This rug is a masterwork of Haji Jalili, whose works are known for their high contrast colors and exquisite detail. This makes it not only an extraordinary piece in terms of its beauty, but also a highly collectible one. The design is organized around a central medallion with radiating layers of contrasting colors moving out towards the borders. It has formal corners that use an ivory background and pick up the colors of the central medallion and one of the larger bands. This helps to unify the design from the center to the formal borders. The antique oversized rug...
