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?
“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 🇦🇺
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 🇦🇺
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 🇱🇧
