About the Item

74937 Rare Haji Khalili Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 10'10 x 13'08. Woven in the illustrious ateliers of Haji Khalili in Tabriz during the late 19th century, this magnificent antique Persian rug is a true embodiment of imperial refinement and textile mastery. Revered among connoisseurs for producing some of the most sophisticated carpets of the Qajar period, Haji Khalili’s workshop was synonymous with elite craftsmanship and poetic design. This particular piece exemplifies the atelier’s signature style: a majestic arabesque center medallion, finely sculpted and anchored with ornate finials, floats upon a luminous field of abrashed red and rose—its palette softly faded with time to a hue of noble warmth. It is a one-of-a-kind heirloom carpet that does not shout, but serenely commands attention, offering an aura of serene authority and timeless luxury. The extraordinary composition unfolds in measured harmony, where botanical elegance meets architectural symmetry. The all-over field is a meticulously orchestrated lattice of palmettes, spiraling arabesques, and a profusion of florals—each one hand-knotted with painterly precision. These signature motifs, grounded in Persian garden symbolism, evoke the eternal renewal of paradise and the harmony between human order and nature’s wild poetry. Delicately worked spandrels echo the contours of the medallion, guiding the viewer’s gaze back to the tranquil heart of this exclusive rug. The masterful use of negative space, subtle abrash, and micro-level intricacy reflect a profound understanding of both aesthetic rhythm and sacred proportion. Framing the field is a richly articulated palmette vine border—a rhythmic sequence of floral scrolls and stylized rosettes that unfurl like the verses of a ghazal. This border, flanked by a series of finely drawn guard bands, creates a regal enclosure that enhances the sense of both monumentality and intimacy. The contrast between the inner field’s structured florality and the more flowing curvature of the border embodies the delicate balance that defines great Persian art: where geometry softens into lyricism, and ornament becomes meditation. This rug is not merely decorative; it is a visual manuscript, a woven hymn to beauty, symmetry, and divine order. To own this exquisite work of art is to acquire a legacy—a rare heirloom that once graced the salons of Persian aristocracy or the quiet chambers of a cultural patron. Its significance lies not only in its technical excellence, but in its spirit: a celebration of artistry, dignity, and the noble slowness of handwork. Ideal for a grand library, a curated gallery, or the interior of a world traveler with discerning taste, this precious rug offers more than prestige—it offers a sense of belonging to something enduring. In a world of impermanence, this woven masterpiece offers permanence, purpose, and a place in the unbroken chain of cultural heritage. Rendered in variegated shades of red, ruby red, scarlet, crimson, tan, ecru, sand, coffee, chocolate, brown, taupe, rose, and dark pink. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran (Persia). Measures: 10'10 x 13'08.

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.
