I never cease to be amazed by the incredible versatility and timeless appeal of the Herati or Mahi design. It is all over the place and by definition very repetitive. However every now and then it seems like a breath of fresh air and takes you aback. In this case it is the attraction of the Malayer brick red and the vast, endless expanse of the field that creates this dramatic effect. Quietly understated yet possessed of tremendous character. As a kelleh it is considerably wider than the great majority and survives in intact shape. A decorator's dream.
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
“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 🇦🇺
