The most spectacular antique 3D Soof Kashan youβll ever see .. silk on silk with a unique turquoise blue tone .. and a few ounces of silverπ©Ά 100% intact. My #heavymetal baby is exhilaratingπ©Άππ©Ά This is royal art and historical luxury at the absolutely highest level ever achieved
Very few 3D Soof rugs were woven. Of the surviving few, over 90% are yellow or golden. Turquoise blue is astoundingly hard to find.
Multicolor (tricolor actually) silk fringes only add to the appeal. The quality of materials, weave, choice of color and design balance together make it one of the absolute best and rarest antique silk rugs of all time.

His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed.

βYou donβt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itβs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!β Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia π¦πΊ
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. π¬π§
