A rare Hadji Jalili Tabriz carpet
Persia, circa 1890
9ft 6in x 6ft 4in : 285cm x 193cm
Provenance:
Sir Julius Wernher, Luton Hoo, Bedfordshire, England.
The design merchants of Tabriz were responsible for the revival of carpet weaving in Persia at the end of the nineteenth century, primarily to satisfy the new demand from the west.
The most prominent workshop was supervised by Hadji Jalili, whose classical designs were applied with light colours of subtle tones, mostly brown/tan tones with the white/light blue examples, as in the present example, are the rarest, popular for the export clientele.
An unusual detail is in the application of the same colour for the ground and the border, also the small size is exceptionally rare for this type of carpet with a full floral background design.
Price : P.O.A.
