HADJI JALLILI TABRIZ
Northwest Persian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) Fine antique rugs of diminutive size had uses other than living on them. They were given as dowry items or as gifts for a special occasion and woven as artistic studies. This deeply engaging little gem uniquely blends luxuriousness with an appealing mystique. Consuming the field are fecund boteh or ’Seed of Life’ motifs, each containing a delightful blossoming flower soon to burgeon into existence, symbolically reflecting the natural and agricultural circle of life. This pattern language, combined with a border suite resembling the esoteric magical phrasing of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic writing, results in an achievement that is profoundly intriguing and harmonious. The extreme fineness of weave and sumptuous wool of this singular piece are immediately satisfying to both the visual and tactile senses.
