This is certainly the oldest know Shahsavan rug with this lattice format based on diagonally placed cypress trees. It is very finely woven with a far more pristine version of the design than the "younger" variants of the early 1800s.
It is dated 1130 Hijri corresponding to 1717-1718, a full 5 years prior to the end of the Safavid Empire. As such it is seemingly ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ป๐น๐ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐ฑ.
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait ๐ฐ๐ผ
