A very elegant antique Khorasan woven with a fine Dorokhsh handle and softer wool than usuals. The color palette veers more towards soft blues than the usual reds. The handsome vases alternate with weeping willow trees on an ivory ground, all framed by a richly ornate border. At the top we see the signature of the master artist Mohammad Karim Kermani, suggesting that this Dorokhsh was created by a weaver who had migrated north from Kerman.
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

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
