The turquoise (Feyrouzi) field is quite eye-catching here and very pretty. It stands out from the more common medallion carpets of Kashan and Kerman. This is a perfectly preserved signed carpet from the private weaving workshop set up in Birjand by the aristocratic Khorasani notable Mesbah Diwan, a leading politician in the reign of Sultan Ahmad Shah Qajar (1909-1925). As such we can date these signed carpets with great precision. Their historical value is therefore immense.
You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon 🇱🇧
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
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
