Whenever I open this at the Gallery I am amazed by how splendid it is. The hunting scene, along with the Gol Bolbol, is the most famous and demanded of all Seirafian signed carpets. I had never seen it in a size larger than ghaliche (around 2 meters long give or take) until I cast eyes on this and knew I had to have it. To add to the wowness, the border is an ornate and beautiful rendition of the Gol Bolbol I just mentioned. Incredibly fine repeats of roses and nightingales adorn the external frame. But you want to know what is most impressive? The fact that both border and field are woven in silk. Can you name another silk Seirafian in this size?
“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
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 🇦🇺
