Code 8889 Turkish Haji Jalili Floral 310x245cm Hand Knotted

This magnificent Haji Jalili design carpet (#8889, 310 × 245 cm) represents the enduring legacy of Persian and Ottoman weaving traditions, brought to life by the master weavers of Hereke, Turkey. Inspired by the renowned 19th-century Tabriz master Haji Jalili, whose works are celebrated for their intricate artistry, balanced proportions, and subtle yet rich colour palettes, this rug is both a decorative treasure and a cultural heirloom.

Handwoven in Hereke, Turkey, a town world-famous for producing some of the finest carpets in the Ottoman era and beyond. Woven using the double-knot (Turkish knot) method, known for its density, precision, and durability, making the rug exceptionally hard-wearing and long-lasting. Made from all-natural, hand-spun wool, chosen for its silky texture and natural sheen. This wool gives the carpet a luxurious finish and a smooth, luminous feel. Coloured with natural, plant-based dyes, ensuring both eco-friendly production and a palette that matures beautifully with age. Over time, the high-quality wool and dyes develop a superb patina, enhancing the depth, richness, and charm of the carpet. The design is a faithful continuation of the Haji Jalili tradition, known for its refined floral patterns and architectural symmetry.

Field: The olive-brown field is richly filled with an intricate allover design of scrolling vines, floral sprays, rosettes, and arabesques. This dense yet balanced pattern reflects both Persian garden symbolism and the artistic refinement of Jalili’s legacy.

Borders: The wide ivory-toned border is adorned with cartouches, palmettes, and trailing vine scrolls, framing the field with elegance and grandeur.

Style: The interplay between the busy field and the open, stately borders creates harmony, a characteristic hallmark of Haji Jalili’s artistry that blends complex detail with majestic order.

This carpet stands out for its rare and sophisticated palette.  A deep olive-brown field, unusual and striking, lending the rug a warm yet regal presence. Borders in ivory and soft beige, balancing the intensity of the field and brightening the composition. Accents in golden yellow, terracotta, and subtle burgundy, woven seamlessly into the floral motifs. The silky wool enhances the colours, creating a shimmering effect that changes beautifully under natural or artificial light. The Haji Jalili design, combined with the weaving mastery of Hereke, makes this piece a rare cultural fusion of Persian and Ottoman traditions. Its double-knotted structure and high-quality wool make it suitable not just as a collectible, but as a functional and enduring work of art. The rug’s modern yet classic design and unique colour scheme allow it to complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.

This rug is more than a decorative accessory — it is an heirloom piece, admired for its artistry, durability, and timeless beauty.  This Hereke-woven Haji Jalili design carpet is a masterpiece of silky wool, natural dyes, and refined artistry, embodying heritage, elegance, and lasting value.
