Part of a 3-rug display around the master bed, this exquisitely woven, one-of-a-kind 19th-Century Hadji Jallili Tabriz adds fascinating counterpoint to the modern bedroom and the less formal village rug at the foot. At once capturing rapt attention, thrilling tones of emerald and blood orange shimmer in the filtered sunlight, achieving effortless fluency here not just within the rug’s elliptical, organic forms but also with the neighboring Camelhair Serab rug and the East Asian-inspired vases—never dominating, but inviting each to contribute to the dialogue. As perhaps the most formal piece in his collection, this connoisseur has situated this antique Persian city rug for easy viewing, where its exquisite drawing and nuances of ethereal color will provide an unending source of enjoyment and discovery.

Ever since modern design’s beginnings at the turn of the 20th-century, antique Persian carpets have been universally recognized for the integral role they naturally play in these interiors. Mies van der Rohe placed them throughout his own homes; even before this, the Bauhaus School honored textiles as one of its very first disciplines, emulating the extraordinary energy found in Persian and tribal weavings. We see this perfect affinity in full splendor in this soaring modern space, where a carefully curated trio of quintessential Tabriz carpets animates these surroundings with an immersive, yet understated elegance. Throughout, there is a harmonious interaction between the angular and the curvilinear. Note, for instance, the transformative way the central carpet’s surpassingly intricate scrolling designs mirror, dignify and enhance the stairway metalwork of a master artisan. Further connections are brought out in painting and sculpture. The John Dove painting and 13th-century map projection come alive alongside the sensitive organic contours of each carpet. The work in glass shares the precise time-softened terra-cotta shade of the smaller Tabriz, creating a spirited collaborated. Light grey wall coverings, so popular in contemporary homes, serve as the ideal canvas for this distinguished artistic display.

An exquisite 19th-century oversize Tabriz attributed to the master carpet designer, Hadji Jallili, sets a pitch-perfect tone of elegant gentility in this refined yet comfortable sitting room, anchoring the space with a foundation of understated luxury. Like the room itself, this superb 19th-century Persian Court carpet is infinitely greater than the sum of its parts, as its surpassingly grand rose window medallion joins seamlessly with the openness of a luminous golden reserve. The inspired pairing ennobles each other with even more impressive aesthetic impact. 18th-century French boiserie and Louis XVI furniture take a consonant approach, pairing open space with exquisite ornamentation stylized from antecedents in the natural world. The illumination streaming from the garden outside further invigorates this ethereal tableau—a sense for light that recurs in the classical landscape paintings.
