Story

Hekmat Nejad Majnouni is the most enigmatic, sought after and famous carpet artist of the last century. He was the favourite carpet weaver for the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi (1941-1979) ๐Ÿคด much as the Amoghly Bros were for Reza Shah Pahlavi (1925-1941). Ostad Hekmat Nejad was so dedicated to his art that his peers called him 'Majnouni' (lit. crazy!)-- an epithet he proudly adopted. He did not create many carpets, far fewer than any of the individual Seirafian brothers, but he made sure each was as special as it gets. To put it in perspective this is only the 6th HKM I have had in 25 years. His finest moment was when the Shah commissioned some super awesome carpets from him for the 1971 Persepolis commemoration of 2,500 years of Persian kingship.

What our customers say!

โ€œYou donโ€™t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโ€™s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ€ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

 

 

I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

 

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.
