Story

A stunning highlight from the period of Qajar infatuation with the court arts of the French Second Empire during the reign of Napoleon III (1851-71), known as 𝙇'𝙀𝙒π™₯π™žπ™§π™š π˜Ώπ™šπ™¨ π™π™€π™¨π™šπ™¨. This masterpiece dates to the 1850s and depicts three roundels with French aristocratic or princely ladies posing in fashionable clothing. The figures could have been inspired by the popular cameos of the day. All around we see a dense field of roses and flowering bouquets, an early and very rare incantation of the 𝙂𝙀𝙑 π™π™–π™§π™–π™£π™œ theme. The unusual size is a further indication of the special standing of this piece, currently in our private collection.

What our customers say!

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

 

 

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 πŸ‡­πŸ‡°

 

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
