Inspired by Safavid miniature paintings of the Isfahan school, this is a rare small poshti rug from the famous Seirafian workshops. It shows a female musician playing the harp. The red of her robe, lipstick and earring contrast beautifully with the undyed beige wool background. Perfect condition with original kilim ends and fringes--look at those tassels at the upper end!
“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
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 🇱🇧
