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.
“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
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong 🇭🇰
