Outstanding in size, quality and that killer blue! The Millefleurs group of Tehran rugs, locally known as Haj Khanomi, is perhaps the most recognizable and legendary group of Tehran carpets woven in the Qajar period, with the finest materials and richest patterns. It rather squarish size and presents an incredible dense field with a flowering vase and a cornucopia of floral delights all rising up to the apex of the mihrab niche. The unusual proportions suggest this was a commissioned piece, as does the ravishing blue.
Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida 🇺🇸
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 🇦🇺
