Description

Haji Jalil Tabriz Persian Silk Hand Knotted Carpet – The Epitome of Persian Grandeur

The Haji Jalil Tabriz Persian Silk Hand Knotted Carpet is not just a floor covering—it is a living testament to the golden age of Persian artistry, woven in the legendary city of Tabriz, Iran’s historic heart of fine carpet making. Named after the iconic Haji Jalil style, this masterpiece embodies the soul of Persian luxury, where intricate detail, timeless elegance, and painstaking craftsmanship unite in perfect harmony.

Every strand of pure silk is placed by hand, forming an exquisite tapestry that glows under light like a work of jeweled art. The design features the signature Haji Jalil medallion, framed by layers of scrolling arabesques, delicate palmettes, and floral motifs so fine they appear painted rather than knotted. Its rich palette—achieved through natural vegetable dyes—offers hues that deepen over time, ensuring the piece becomes even more beautiful with age.
