19. Alg 1920 Medallion and pendants carpet Tabriz, Hajijalili workshop Northwest Persia circa 1870 350 x 272 cm (11’6” x 8’11”) symmetrically knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation Very rarely can one ascribe a carpet to the near mythical Hajijalili workshop with a relative degree of certainty, especially as these were never signed or embellished by any sort of inscription. The signature style lies however in the highly refined palette consisting of a characteristic parchment ivory background punctuated by touches of light rust and teal blue. The high quality of weaving as well as the use of a lustrous pile renders it among the most elegant manifestations of the Persian carpet revival period.
