Story

This dream is a real collector's gem. The Mostowfi pattern or spiralling arabesque vines with bouquets of flowers usually appears on Farahan or Mahal carpets, albeit dryly rendered. When it pops up on Bijar rugs it transforms into a higher level of consciousness. Invariably Mostowfi Bijars are gigantic in size, much like the related Garrus design. This masterpiece is remarkable for being in the very rare ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ-๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฉ size (7.5 x 5 feet roughly) and for having ivory as its background color of choice rather than the ubiquitous indigo. This allows the green leaves and red flowers to sparkle and come to life. The excellence of wool and the finesse of weave are mighty impressive. It is perhaps the best small Bijar I have had the pleasure to offer my clients.

The beauty of detail

What our customers say!

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

 

 

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ

 

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 ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ
