Tabriz Haji Jalili / 27871

This Tabriz Haji Jalili antique rug measures 2' 7" x 17' 7", presenting a striking long-format composition with a richly patterned field and finely layered borders. A rhythmic chain of medallions and floral forms runs through the centre, balanced by a dense outer framework in cream and dark blue. The palette blends rust red, turquoise, green, ivory, and navy, creating a vivid but time-softened surface. Low distress leaves the drawing clear and the atmosphere intact, with age visible in the gentle wear and fringe. Circa 1900 - 1930. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
