Antique Tabriz Hadji Jalili carpet, Azerbaijan, NW Iran, 4'5 x 5'8" |
|
Opulent formal drawing and a regal palette impart tremendous elegance in
this stunning area size piece from the acclaimed carpet designer, Hadji
Jallili. Profoundly artful expression abounds throughout its complex design.
Constant abrash, the art of purposeful color variation, is used to great
heights, creating a shimmering, three-dimensional effect. Note the regal
emerald green of the inner medallion and the movement of the field tone from
soft rust at the lower end to deep rose at the top.
