This is a posthumous masterpiece designed by the late Grand Master Shahsavarpour. He was a towering giant of the Tabriz art scene in the second half of the 1900s and contributed many famous patterns to the world of fine carpets. This is one of the very few designs which he created but did not weave in his lifetime. His estate allowed this fabulous design to be woven in his memory a couple of years ago and we are honored to have it among our inventory.
It is a stunning tour de force of design, materials, technique and finesse. Aesthetically it is one of the most beautiful versions of the ππ°π π° ππ°ππ£π°π that have seen the face of the sky. The expert draughtsmanship and inventiveness of the late master Shahsavarpour are on clear display. Gold thread of 22 carat caliber is used extensively all across the masterpiece, creating the 3D ππ°πΆπ§ ππ’π³π«π’π΄π΅π¦π© technique that was last seen on Qajar palace carpets of the 1800s. This makes it unique among 21st century rugs. The flowers and birds are knotted in silk pile, the warps are silk while the wefts are gold thread. And in far larger sizes than the antiques..
βI 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. Hadiβs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.β Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦
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.

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait π°πΌ
