Antique Haj-Jalili Tabriz 35930

A masterwork from the celebrated Haj-Jalili workshop of Tabriz, this antique carpet exemplifies the refined artistry and poetic color sensibility that define late-19th-century Persian weaving. The composition is anchored by a beautifully articulated central medallion, floating within an intricate field of scrolling florals and palmettes, all rendered with extraordinary precision.

The palette is exceptionally nuanced and luminous: soft apricot, warm camel, parchment ivory, cocoa brown, and delicate sky blue accents layered with subtle abrash that gives the surface depth and movement. Unlike later, more saturated Tabriz rugs, this Haj-Jalili example favors restraint and harmony—colors gently melt into one another, creating a watercolor-like effect that feels elegant and timeless.

Finely knotted with a silky, low pile and superb drawing, the rug is framed by multiple borders filled with flowering vines and classical motifs, reinforcing its balanced, architectural presence. At 10'4" × 12'2", it is ideally suited for a formal living room, library, or primary bedroom, where it can anchor the space without overwhelming it.

This is a true collector-level antique: sophisticated, serene, and unmistakably Haj-Jalili in both execution and soul.
