This early 20th-century Persian Hadji Jallili Tabriz rug, circa 1900, is a remarkable example of the refined artistry for which Tabriz weavers are celebrated. At its heart, a grand floral medallion anchors a field of loosely drawn scrolling vines, lending an elegant sense of movement. The composition is framed by a wide, complex border with multiple patterned stripes, each adorned with delicate floral and scrolling motifs. Woven in a luminous palette of burnt oranges, deep golds, warm creams, and rich indigos, the rug exudes warmth and sophistication.
Hadji Jallili Tabriz rugs are known for their intricate detailing, balanced compositions, and masterful use of soft yet striking color variations. Originating in Tabriz, one of Iran’s most important weaving centers, these rugs were favored for their exceptional craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic. This exquisite example embodies the enduring legacy of Hadji Jallili-style weaving, making it a rare and collectible work of textile art.
