Antique Hadji Jalili Tabriz rug, Azerbaijan, NW Iran, 7'3' x 10'

For the lover of classical weaving comes this near 150-year-old court carpet from the workshop of the esteemed designer, Hadji Jallili. Its regal archway offers a dazzling view to an idyllic naturalistic landscape. So crystal clear is its finely knotted drawing that the design appears etched while its gorgeous palette of warm tones shimmers in silent glory.
