(Connoisseur-Caliber)
("New Arrivals Gallery") An intricately articulated design brings tremendous refinement to this precious area size rug from the renowned master carpet designer, Hadji Jallili (Haji Jalili). An exotic, unusually subtle, time-softened palette includes a rarified combination of steel blue, terra cotta and antique ivory. The diminutive diamond medallion anchors the profusely ornamented field, contrasted by the main border, where masterful abrash, spacious motifs and a sky blue ground act as a harmonious counterbalance.
