Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 (Size Adjusted) Haji Jalili BB9118 12'0" × 19'9" $160,000

This exceptional Antique Haji Jalili Tabriz rug from the 1880s exemplifies the refined elegance and masterful craftsmanship associated with the celebrated Persian workshop of Haji Jalili. The composition features a richly detailed, softly graduated field filled with intricate floral and vine motifs, delicately arranged in a harmonious, symmetrical layout. Subtle abrash-like tonal shifts create depth and visual movement across the surface, lending the rug an almost painterly quality.

Framed by a deep navy floral border and multiple finely ornamented guard bands, the warm palette of coral, blush, ivory, and muted gold is beautifully balanced by cool accents, creating a sophisticated contrast. Hand-knotted in fine wool, this piece reflects the hallmark delicacy of Haji Jalili’s designs—graceful, light in spirit, and meticulously detailed. Elegant and timeless, this rug serves as a refined focal point for traditional interiors as well as an elevated accent in transitional and contemporary spaces.

This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
