Antique Tabriz Hadji Jalili carpet, Azerbaijan, NW Iran, 11'2" x 14'9" |
|
Ephemeral artistry and consummate craftsmanship elevate this stunning
antique masterwork to seldom-reached heights. The mark of the master
designer Hadji Jallili is evident in every attribute, including its
tremendously fine weave, riveting clarity of design, and exquisite shading
of its color. Its understated medallion radiates outward, echoed in an array
of understated, nearly diaphanous hues, while a multitude of precisely drawn
floral forms advance and recede before the eyes of the enraptured viewer.
