In most people's mind a fine quality Persian carpet would look like these. Developed in the 1920s, this style has not gone out of fashion yet and practically every carpet-loving house in the Middle East has a variant of this form. The finest examples of type are called Qalamrizeh meaning "drawn by a fine pen" reflecting the finesse of weave and materials, including natural dyes and kork lambswool. An elegant central medallion sits upon a beautifully drawn field of flowers with ornate corner elements and a matching border. The oldest and finest have this deep indigo permeating them. They were always made in pairs but it is not easy finding an identical pair in excellent condition like these.
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
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.
