Fine Blue Color Background and Large Scale Floral Design Antique Tabriz Rug by Haji Jalili, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Late 19th Century – A grand scalloped medallion filled with a quatrefoil emits interlacing vines and palmettes on this arresting antique Tabriz. The monumental scale or proportion of the design resembles Sultanabad rugs or Mahal carpets and is unusual among Tabriz carpets. While the palette here is light and decorative, the finesse and detail of the various elements are remarkably faithful to the classical Persian prototypes. The vine-scroll palmette border is smaller and more delicately proportioned, offering an effective balance to the grandeur of the field.
