Story

This is the oldest and largest work of Grand Master Mohammad Dabir Al Sanaye' that I have seen. Carpets bearing his (authentic) signature are extremely important and collectible, marking a turning point in Persian carpet design.

This masterpiece has one of the earliest incarnations of what would come to be known as the signature "classical Kashan" style of central medallion on a sea of lotus flowers. However, it does so with style by incorporating two royal Qajar crowns. This indicates it may have been a commission for one of the palaces or princes of the ruling dynasty. The quality of the Manchester Kork wool is buttery fine as you would expect.

Perfect condition. A landmark moment in Persian carpet history. A dream. No other way to say it.

What our customers say!

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!

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.

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 🇰🇼
