Antique Haji Jalili Tabriz rug, Azerbaijan, NW Iran, 13' x 18' |
|
Highly engaging grandeur and a richly ornamental aesthetic elevate this
spectacular antique court carpet to seldom seen heights. From the master
carpet designer, Hadji Jallili, its breathtaking cruciform medallion holds
an exquisite assortment of lifelike blossom garlands and elegant floral
sprays, extending into a softly striated rare terracotta reserve.
Painstakingly crafted borders and grand cornerpieces continue this exacting
artistry, and redouble the appeal of this tremendously creative early work.
