This stellar room size from the revered carpet designer, Hadji Jallili, exhibits intricate formality and stunningly balanced, elegant design. An incredibly nuanced “Garden of Paradise” design offers a stunning diversity of intricately crafted blossoms, boughs, and garlands, animated by a singular palette of rare, time-softened hues. The effortless dexterity and tremendous presence that fill this masterwork demonstrate an extremely seldom found aesthetic and technical virtuosity.
