About the Item

74938 Late 19th Century Haji Khalili Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 09'05 x 12'07. Steeped in the mystique of Persia’s storied past, this Late 19th Century Haji Khalili Persian Tabriz rug is a symphony of artistry and tradition, hand-knotted with masterful precision. As though woven from the golden sands of time itself, its vast open field—softly abrashed in warm, time-worn tan—serves as a celestial canvas, punctuated by a grand serrated hexagonal medallion that seems to hover like an ancient talisman. Anchored by elegant pendants, the medallion and surrounding spandrels whisper tales of antiquity through an intricate lattice of Herati motifs, each delicate bloom and curling leaf reminiscent of fish gliding beneath the shimmering glow of the moon—a motif long believed to symbolize prosperity and protection. Dark coffee outlines trace each flourish, adding an exquisite depth that balances the rug’s ethereal palette of softened ochres, parchment hues, and rich umber tones. The border, a masterwork in itself, unfolds in rhythmic succession, with classical Persian floral scrolls embracing the composition like the aged walls of a grand Tabriz palace. Every knot, every nuanced color shift, speaks to the deft hands of the artisans who brought this woven masterpiece to life over a century ago, honoring the legendary craftsmanship of Haji Khalili, a name synonymous with the finest Tabriz weavings. An enduring relic of Persian elegance, this rug is more than a decorative marvel—it is a tangible link to an era of grandeur, where the opulent courts of Qajar Persia thrived in poetic splendor. Its refined composition and time-softened hues lend themselves effortlessly to modern rustic interiors, seamlessly integrating into the natural warmth of mountain chalets, countryside estates, or timber-clad retreats nestled among whispering pines. A true heirloom, it carries with it not just beauty, but an everlasting narrative of Persian heritage, destined to enrich and enchant for generations to come. Rendered in variegated shades of beige, tan, ecru, camel, coffee, sienna, brown, chocolate, champagne, almond, muted terra cotta, rustic rose and greige with other accent colors. Distressed. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Antique Wash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran (Persia). Measures: 09'05 x 12'07. Pile Height: 0.11 of an inch. Date: 1880's. Late 19th 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.
