The signed carpets of Grand Master Mohammad Dabir Al Sanayeh are the stuff of legend. Along with Seirafian and Amoghly, they are among the most collectible and desirable. He was a master weaver who singlehandedly changed the course of Kashan weaving and created a number of designs that would become fixed landmarks in the canon of the city's carpets. This is one such example, in superb condition. His signature flowering vases are repeated six times across the field with heron birds and delicate leaves sprayed around the ivory field.
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 🇱🇧
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 🇭🇰
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
