Tabriz is a traditional carpet weaving center that was established in the 1500s under the Safavid rulers. The city became home to formal carpet weaving schools where artists were trained to produce masterpieces that would be used in palaces and the estates of noblemen. This tradition of excellence in design and quality remains a part of the Tabriz carpet weaving tradition still today.

This antique Persian Haji Jalili carpet shows the masterful skill of the Persian rug weaver who was trained in the traditional style for which carpets from Tabriz are recognized for. You can find many different patterns of carpets from Tabriz, and this central medallion design with its delicate flowers and artistic paisleys is a rare and breathtaking example.

The carpet design is symmetrical, with the design divided into four identical quadrants. This gives the design a formal structure and wonderful sense of balance. The artist used a limited color palette of warm browns and soft blues that juxtapose so magnificently against the lighter cream colored background.

The Tabriz Haji Jalili carpet has a delicate feel that demonstrates the high level of skill of the artist and the weavers. A design this refined is only possible in a carpet with an unusually high knot count. This antique rug has a warm feel and lends an elegance to the room design. This is the perfect piece for a traditional, transitional or formal setting where it will add its feeling of sophistication and warm character.
