Antique Tabriz Hadji Jalili rug, Azerbaijan, NW Iran, 3'11" x 5'7" |
In this early rug from a most illustrious workshop, repeating boteh
(paisley-like) motifs of unusual elongated stature and grace are set against
a golden wheat-toned field. Shimmering abrash (color striation) skillfully
imparts a dramatic watercolor effect. The delicately drawn main border
amplifies the beauty of this collectible court rug.
