Antique Tabriz Persian Medallion Oversized Warm Tan, Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1860 Haji Jalili BB9055 14'0" × 23'0" $320,000

This remarkable 19th-century Persian Tabriz rug, attributed to the master weaver Haji Jalili, dates to circa 1860 and exemplifies the artistic brilliance that made Tabriz one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers. The composition is dominated by a finely drawn central medallion that unfolds into a lush field of intricate arabesques, floral scrolls, and palmettes, all enclosed within a series of elaborately detailed borders.

The palette—featuring muted tones of sand, coral, ivory, and soft blue—reflects Haji Jalili’s renowned mastery of color modulation and subtle tonal harmony. Every motif is rendered with meticulous precision, creating a design that feels both delicate and monumental.

Hand-knotted in the finest wool, this carpet epitomizes the grace, balance, and sophistication that define Haji Jalili’s oeuvre. Its grandeur and refined palette make it a masterpiece suited for distinguished traditional or transitional interiors.
