Gorgeous Antique Persian Haji Jalili Tabriz Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1920 – Haji Jalili is one of the most widely recognized names in the world of artisan rug making. During the 1880s, he and a group of fellow rug designers decided to revive a once-thriving industry that was in decline. They wanted to restore the Persian rug industry to its former glory that it experienced during the 16th century. They were successful and brought back many of the traditional designs only in a style that was in line with contemporary tastes. His looms continued to produce rugs that can be described as no less than masterpieces through the first quarter of the 20th century. This piece is a fine example of the rugs produced by his workshops in the 1920s.

The artist was born near the city of Tabriz which is in northeastern Persia. This town was once the home of the schools that produced the Court Carpets of the Safavid Dynasty. These carpets were the inspiration for many of Haji Jalili’s designs. The master weaver was the designer, and the weaving itself was carried out by a team of highly-skilled craftsmen. The designer relied on traditional designs but also gave each one a unique and personal character.

Haji Jalili rugs are some of the most desirable in the world of fine rug collecting. This one uses spicey reds, neutrals, and vibrant blues for a rug that makes a statement in the room. Its Shabby Chic look brings warmth and charm to the room design. Its formal feel makes it perfect for traditional decor, but its character adds a timelessness that is worldly and well-traveled.

All of Haji Jalili’s rugs are considered a masterpiece, and this one is no exception. One thing that stands out about the design is its attention to detail and intricacy. The design uses a traditional medallion design as the foundation and then adds increasing layers of complexity and color. The result is simply breathtaking, and this rug will make an elegant statement that is sophisticated and refined.
