The Zaronim size of roughly 5 x 3 feet is one of the rarest in all Kashan weaving, especially for pairs. I have only had two other pairs in this size in the last decade or so. We see a beautiful field of flowers swarming across a midnight blue field that rises form the elegant vase at the base towards the multi lobed landscape cartouche in the middle up to the lantern dangling from the mihrab prayer arch at the top. The niche slants downwards to rest on two architectural columns. Multiply all the above by 2 and the wowness by much much more.
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 🇱🇧
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong 🇭🇰
