19th Century Tabriz Hadji Ja Li Li Poem Carpetrug no. j5376

Description

A museum-grade 19th-century Persian Master Hadji Jalili Tabriz carpet showcasing an extraordinary diamond-grid compartment layout and a rare calligraphic poetry border. The terracotta-rust and warm ivory field is organized into repeating diamond reserves, each filled with delicate floral sprays, weeping willows, and cypress motifs. Framing the central composition is a prominent midnight-navy border with continuous Nasta'liq Persian calligraphy, bordered by scalloped architectural spandrels and floral guard bands. Hand-knotted with fine Kurk wool on a cotton foundation, this carpet exemplifies the signature Hadji Jalili aesthetic: a refined earthy palette (terracotta, terracotta-rust, camel-gold, ice blue, and indigo) combined with exceptionally fine, crisp knotting.
