About the Item

73538 Haji Khalili Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 10'00 x 12'02. This hand knotted wool antique Persian Tabriz rug, crafted by the esteemed Haji Khalili workshop, stands as a testament to the masterful artistry that defines the rich carpet-making heritage of Tabriz. At its heart, a majestic stepped concentric hexagonal medallion, intricately filled with Herati motifs, draws the eye with its precise geometry and symbolic depth. These motifs, traditional in Persian rug design, feature a delicate flower at the center of a diamond, surrounded by curling leaves reminiscent of fish, symbolizing life's continual renewal and the flow of nature. Encasing this central spectacle is a rustic red hexagonal framework, resplendent with elegantly arrayed boteh motifs, each symbolizing the seed of life and the potential for growth and regeneration. This vibrant outline serves not only as a striking contrast to the earthy tones of the inner medallion but also echoes the themes of birth and rebirth inherent in the rug's iconography. The repetition of the Herati pattern within the spandrels and the main border integrates the central theme with the outer elements, creating a cohesive narrative that is visually harmonious. The classic Herati border, a canvas unto itself, features botanical elements across its expanse, bordered by dark coffee outlines that accentuate the intricacy of the weave. This border frames the central medallion and complements the internal design, reinforcing the rug's structured aesthetic while adding a layer of complexity. This meticulous outlining not only highlights the craftsmanship involved but also guides the observer’s gaze across the rug’s surface, allowing for an appreciation of its detailed artistry. Crafted during a period renowned for its weaving excellence, this Haji Khalili Tabriz rug embodies the pinnacle of Persian weaving traditions. Its design, rich in symbolism and beauty, offers more than mere decoration; it provides a narrative woven into its very fibers, inviting contemplation on the themes of life, continuity, and the beauty of nature. As such, it stands not only as a functional piece of art but as a cultural artifact, preserving the legacy of one of the greatest epochs in Persian carpet making. Rendered in variegated shades of brown, brick red, tan, terracotta, taupe, and beige with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 10'00 x 12'02. Pile Height: 0.13 of an inch. Date: 1900's. Early 20th Century.

Haji Khalili Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 13'01 x 17'03
By Haji Khalili
Located in Dallas, TX
74321 Haji Khalili Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 13'01 x 17'03. Haji Khalili Persian Tabriz rugs are renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and intricate designs, originating from Tabriz in northwestern Iran. These rugs are known for their high-quality materials, expert weaving, and high knot density, making them both durable and detailed. They feature a variety of designs, including medallions, floral patterns, and detailed pictorial scenes, with vibrant colors and complex patterns as hallmarks. Named after Haji Jalili, a master weaver from the late 19th to early 20th century, these rugs are prized for their artistic and cultural value. Jalili was celebrated for his innovative designs and use of softer, more subtle color palettes compared to other Persian rugs. Due to their quality, beauty, and historical importance, Haji Khalili Tabriz rugs are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, often considered not just floor coverings but works of art. In the realm of artistic expression, this oversized hand-knotted wool Haji Khalili antique Persian Tabriz rug is a masterpiece, weaving magic and history into its fibers. At the heart of this enchanting piece lies an eight-point beige medallion, serenely floating within a brown cusped center medallion, anchored by delicate finials that whisper tales of ancient craftsmanship. This central jewel is set against an open, abrashed field, a canvas that speaks softly of the passage of time and the gentle touch of artisans' hands. Surrounding this medallion, the elaborate spandrels bloom with delicate floral details, a dance of petals and leaves that mirror the central design, drawing the eye back to the heart of the rug. This intricate ballet of nature's beauty is framed within the bounds of a Herati border, a variation that carries its own legacy in each twist and turn. Flanked by inner and outer guard bands and stripes, this border serves as a testament to the meticulous skill and patience of its creators, enhancing the rug's allure with each patterned layer. This rug, with its timeless design and warm, inviting colors, creates an atmosphere of calm elegance and harmony. The grand-scale curvilinear patterns and the intimate blending of hues foster a sense of serenity and sophistication. This highly versatile antique Persian Tabriz rug is more than a mere adornment for the floor; it is a sanctuary, capable of grounding nearly any space with its tranquil presence and enduring charm. Rendered in variegated shades of tan, ecru, camel, sand, beige, brown, coffee, chocolate, brick red, rust, burnt orange, and terra cotta with accents of ocher, brass, taupe, and greige with other accent colors.
