Antique Persian Tabriz Haji Jalili Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Late 19th Century– A central medallion is wreathed by dark brown stitches that pick out four-pointed floral pieces and manifold smaller ornate shapes. The largest single ornament is a four-lobed leafy structure in the exact center of the carpet. The background bears a complex decoration of pale flowers and angular design elements that separate the primary, darker figures of the antique Persian rug. With nearly tone-on-tone stitching, the faded red-gold designs create an intricate backdrop without dominating the larger whole of the antique Persian Tabriz rug. Dark stitching that matches the main design creates two rectangular border bars, encasing a repeating set of stylized fronds, the negative space filled with more faint flowers structured in a lattice.
