Belle Of The Year ππ€β€οΈ
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.

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!

Jβai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prΓ©paration de lβexposition Β« LβEmpire des roses, chefs-dβΕuvre de lβart persan du 19Γ¨me siΓ¨cle Β» qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et Γ laquelle il a participΓ© par le prΓͺt de tapis exceptionnels. Jβavais alors Γ©tΓ© impressionnΓ©e par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquΓ© le dΓ©but dβune collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musΓ©e du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes sβenrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains nβont pas leur Γ©quivalent dans les musΓ©es occidentaux. Ce que jβapprΓ©cie chez Hadi ? Cβest son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et lβengouement quβil a pour son mΓ©tier !
