Antique Haji Jalili Tabriz rug, Azerbaijan, NW Iran, 10' x 14'4" |
|
This superlative large room-size exemplifies the lofty standards of the
Hadji Jallili Tabriz style, presenting an astonishing level of craftsmanship
and refinement of design. Abandoning the muted earth-tone palette that
defines this style, it offers a deeply saturated pomegranate red field,
which is sparsely adorned to accentuate its splendor. At its center, a
luminous sunburst medallion shines brightly, augmented by glowing golden and
sand hues. Supremely sophisticated cornerpieces reprise the medallion's
exquisitely detailed artistry and transition smoothly into a series of
extraordinarily ornate borders.
