Haji Khalili Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 13'01 x 17'03
By Haji Khalili
Located in Dallas, TX
74321 Haji Khalili Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 13'01 x 17'03. Haji Khalili Persian Tabriz rugs are renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and intricate designs, originating from Tabriz in northwestern Iran. These rugs are known for their high-quality materials, expert weaving, and high knot density, making them both durable and detailed. They feature a variety of designs, including medallions, floral patterns, and detailed pictorial scenes, with vibrant colors and complex patterns as hallmarks.
Named after Haji Jalili, a master weaver from the late 19th to early 20th century, these rugs are prized for their artistic and cultural value. Jalili was celebrated for his innovative designs and use of softer, more subtle color palettes compared to other Persian rugs. Due to their quality, beauty, and historical importance, Haji Khalili Tabriz rugs are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, often considered not just floor coverings but works of art.
In the realm of artistic expression, this oversized hand-knotted wool Haji Khalili antique Persian Tabriz rug is a masterpiece, weaving magic and history into its fibers. At the heart of this enchanting piece lies an eight-point beige medallion, serenely floating within a brown cusped center medallion, anchored by delicate finials that whisper tales of ancient craftsmanship. This central jewel is set against an open, abrashed field, a canvas that speaks softly of the passage of time and the gentle touch of artisans' hands.
Surrounding this medallion, the elaborate spandrels bloom with delicate floral details, a dance of petals and leaves that mirror the central design, drawing the eye back to the heart of the rug. This intricate ballet of nature's beauty is framed within the bounds of a Herati border, a variation that carries its own legacy in each twist and turn. Flanked by inner and outer guard bands and stripes, this border serves as a testament to the meticulous skill and patience of its creators, enhancing the rug's allure with each patterned layer.
This rug, with its timeless design and warm, inviting colors, creates an atmosphere of calm elegance and harmony. The grand-scale curvilinear patterns and the intimate blending of hues foster a sense of serenity and sophistication. This highly versatile antique Persian Tabriz rug is more than a mere adornment for the floor; it is a sanctuary, capable of grounding nearly any space with its tranquil presence and enduring charm.
Rendered in variegated shades of tan, ecru, camel, sand, beige, brown, coffee, chocolate, brick red, rust, burnt orange, and terra cotta with accents of ocher, brass, taupe, and greige with other accent colors.

Antique, New and Vintage Area Rugs and Carpets for Your Home
Antique, new and vintage area rugs and carpets are a simple way to add warmth and style to any space. Area rugs can be seasonal or changed with other decorative objects to refresh an interior. Carpet piles materials can vary from wool and cotton to silk and synthetic fibers, and the purpose of a floor covering can range from reducing noise to offering a place to sit.
Vintage rugs can ground a space, and arranging furniture around them creates a measured focal point. Key furniture pieces can be placed on the rug or just the legs, such as with furniture like coffee tables in your living room.
So, how can you tell if a rug is high quality or vintage?
The three main components that determine the quality of a piece are the dyes, the wool and the number of knots per square inch. Ultimately, however, if you want to be sure the rug you’re buying is truly an antique, it is best to consult an expert.
If you want a creative design that stands out, area rugs or carpets can provide layers of color. Rugs and carpets reflect a global heritage of textiles and weaving, such as ornately patterned Persian and Indian designs. Visually striking Chinese rugs can add a delicate touch of color, while modern rugs make a statement with their geometric patterns.
Turkish rugs, with their ruby reds and misted blues, their entwined botanical designs and rhythmic geometries, are as beloved today as they were in the 13th century. The West’s current infatuation with Moroccan and North African tribal rugs stretches to the mid-20th century, when modern furniture designers embraced bold geometric patterns and even bolder palettes as counterpoints to form-follows-function interiors. Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier were among the designers who used these rustic, natural rugs to offset austere interiors.
If you properly maintain your antique and vintage rugs, they will last for many years. When you’re thinking about how to clean a rug, it is important to keep in mind that your vacuum is not too harsh for your favorite floor covering. Frequent vacuuming is in fact necessary to remove everyday dirt that otherwise wears down the pile. Omri Schwartz of Nazmiyal does, however, stipulate that “it’s best to use an ordinary suction vacuum without bristles, as the bristles can damage the rug’s pile.” Rotating the carpet every couple of years is also recommended — it ensures that the rug gets even foot traffic.
On 1stDibs, find a vintage rug or carpet to add a layer of beauty and function to your room.
