Antique Tabriz Carpet, Hadji Jalili Persian Rug, Earth Tones, Ivory, Terracotta

About the Item

This exceptional late 19th-century Persian Hadji Jalili main carpet, dating to approximately 1880, is a masterpiece of the celebrated weaving tradition of Tabriz. Known for their finesse and sophistication, Hadji Jalili carpets are prized for their elegant design, meticulous craftsmanship, and harmonious color palettes. Design and Composition: The carpet features a classical Persian medallion design, showcasing a perfectly balanced interplay between the central medallion, the surrounding field, and the intricately detailed border system. The medallion itself, of refined geometry, is adorned with floral arabesques and delicate scrolling vines that radiate outward, echoing the symmetrical structure of the field. The field is densely populated with a sophisticated all-over floral pattern, featuring stylized palmettes, interconnected arabesques, and fine vinery. These motifs are executed with a level of precision that reflects the exquisite craftsmanship of the Hadji Jalili atelier. Color Palette: The palette of this carpet is dominated by serene earth tones and soft pastel shades, creating an understated yet luxurious aesthetic. Light blues and aquas bring a refreshing contrast to the warmer hues, including rich browns, terracotta, and subtle golden beiges. These colors are skillfully blended, lending the carpet an ethereal, painterly quality. The dyes used are entirely natural, a hallmark of high-quality Persian carpets of this era, with age-softened tones that enhance the antique character. Weave and Material: The fine weave is characteristic of Hadji Jalili carpets, with a high knot density that attests to the expertise of its weavers. This tight weave allows for the detailed execution of intricate designs and ensures durability. The foundation is composed of high-quality cotton, while the pile is crafted from lustrous, hand-spun wool. The wool, with its soft texture and sheen, enhances the visual depth and tactile appeal of the carpet. Border Design: The border system is a harmonious complement to the central field, comprising a wide main border flanked by narrower guard borders. The main border features an exquisite floral meander, with stylized blossoms and vines flowing gracefully along its length. The guard borders, with their repeating geometric and floral motifs, frame the composition beautifully, adding a sense of completeness and balance. Condition and Provenance: This carpet is in excellent condition for its age, with minimal signs of wear that contribute to its antique charm. The surface exhibits a uniform, low pile, indicating careful use and preservation. Its provenance and craftsmanship strongly suggest origin from the Hadji Jalili workshop, renowned for producing some of the most sought-after carpets of the late 19th century. This Hadji Jalili carpet represents a superb example of Persian artistry, combining historical significance, aesthetic beauty, and technical brilliance. Its timeless design and harmonious palette make it an exceptional addition to any collection or interior space. Carpet Measures: 12'5"x20'6"
