AN IMPORTANT QAJAR TABRIZ
We have been fortunate in assembling a first rate collection of Qajar period masterpieces signed and owned by members of the royal family and aristocracy.
This is a highlight of the Hajji Jalili school of the late 1800s, that specialised in large decorative carpets with medium knotting qualities. It defies norms with its small qaliche size and excessively fine knot count.
The camel tones apricot field bursts alive with a stunning take on the Millefleurs design popular on royal Tehran rugs, combining the beautifully drawn cypress trees with the flowering vase and mehrab niche.
The carpet bears a lengthy inscription which explains its role as a ceremonial gift, almost certainly to the Shah or a member of his immediate family:
Commissioned by order of His Excellency the exalted Nasrallah Khan, Naqqash Bashi (chief painter to court). Above is a smaller inscription saying Mobarak Bad or congratulations.
Evidently this was a (possibly Nowruz new year) gift created two years ahead by the painter laureate to gift to his sovereign.
