Story

The name Amoghly, the Shah’s royal weaver, needs no introduction. It is by far the single most exalted and lauded name in Persian carpet history. The Amoghly brothers rose to fame during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi (1925-1941) and were his preferred source for palace floor coverings. Their carpets were of a finesse and beauty never seen before or since. They were only active in Mashhad for around 20 years, ending in the late 1930s. Production was always limited but always incredible. It is extremely difficult to find an Amoghly carpet. It is the holy grail for any antique dealer.

The natural colors here radiate a vibrant energy. The density of floral formations is mind boggling. All this and no silk involved at all. This is the same effect you’ll find in the Shah’s palaces in Tehran, furnished exclusively by the Amoghly bros of Mashhad.

What our customers say!

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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

 

 

As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong πŸ‡­πŸ‡°

 

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.
