Persian Traditional Tabriz Haji Jalili Antique Rugs: The name Haji Jalili is occasionally heard in connection with some of the finest Tabriz carpets of the late 19th Century. Coming from the town of Marand, some 40 miles northwest of Tabriz, Haji Jalili owned workshops that produced small quantities of outstanding carpets. His carpets inspired other weavers at the beginning of the 20th Century, but most of these carpets were of a lesser quality.
