Antique Tabriz Hadji Jalili carpet, Azerbaijan, NW Iran, 12'10" x 18'8" |
|
With its captivating palette and lyrically rendered lines, this 125-year-old
masterpiece from the acclaimed carpet designer, Hadji Jallili offers formal
elegance on a tremendously elevated scale. A series of elegantly contoured
scalloped medallions are given even greater refinement by a virtuoso display
of flowing formal vinery and exquisite, individually rendered blossoms. At
its perimeter, a lush main border unites finely rendered cypress trees with
graceful, stylized garlands.
