One of the most impressive signed Dabir carpets I have seen.
The signed carpets of Grand Master Mohammad Dabir Al Sanayeh are the stuff of legend. Along with Seirafian and Amoghly, they are among the most collectible and desirable. He was a master weaver who singlehandedly changed the course of Kashan weaving and created a number of designs that would become fixed landmarks in the canon of the city's carpets. This is one such example, in superb condition. The allover scrolling arabesque theme with no medallion is extremely decorative and eye catching. The color coordination is superb as is the fluffy kork lambswool.
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
