A remarkable artwork by the legendary Grand Master Aboulghassem (Abu Al Qasim) Kermani, acclaimed by his peers as the "Master of Masters". His signature remains one of the 3 or 4 most famous and desirable across the entire history of Persian carpets. This superb artwork is a stunning display of his ferocious scope of talent and skill. The central figure is that of Majnoun, pining away for his beloved Layla while all the animals of the wilderness gather round to comfort him. Aboulghassem was equally skilled in depicting human figures as animals and trees. The impressive range of flora and fauna we see is incredible. An all time great achievement of the highest quality and collectibility.
“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 🇸🇦
“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
