Right. Where do we start? We have the repeated scenes of animals comically devouring each other. How about the Dragon 🐉 gobbling up a nest of birds, tree and all? Or the lionesses attacking the deer 🦌? If you look closely you will notice that the contours of the medallion are actually made up of four double headed dragons. Each of its pendants depicts what look to be a pair of bears 🐻 smoking opium pipes. Wtf 😳 honestly. To me the most remarkable details lie in the corner elements where mustachioed wrestlers in skirts or shorts seem to be waltzing together while facing the viewer 🤼♀️🤼♀️🤼🤼
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 🇦🇺
To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait 🇰🇼
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
