Antique Tabriz Hadji Jalili carpet with a shield medallion, Azerbaijan, NW Iran, 9'6" x 12'6"


Hadji Jallili Tabriz
3rd Quarter, 19th century
9ft 6in X 12ft 6in
This wonderfully refined piece, with deeply time-softened colors in perfect counterpoint to a dramatic shield medallion, would be the ideal companion to fine antique furniture. Its restrained palette of soft earth tones is seldom encountered in antique carpets, but is the hallmark of the rugs in the esteemed Hadji Jallili style.
