HADJI JALLILI TABRIZ
Northwest Persian (SOLD)

(High-Collectible) ("Best-of-its-Type Sold in 2020”) This sublime room size carpet was made in Tabriz during the era when there were fewer workshops serving the local gentry and the designs created in them were still being influenced by the prevailing 18th century rug aesthetic that valued understatement and spaciousness. Woven with the highest level of Tabriz craftsmanship and a penchant subdued hues that later in the century become formalized under the auspices of Hadji Jallili’s workshop, this carpet is a beguiling masterpiece of absolute grace. Its classical elongated center medallion supported by the four delicately expressed spandrels on an open field pattern expresses a profound elegance. This ambiance is augmented by consummate exploration of nuanced, exquisitely softened colors, including the subtlest jade, cinnamon and taupe, that are never seen in other Persian carpet styles.
