Rising above the majestic lion is a portrait of the bearded Nader Shah Afshar ... yet the inscription states it is Nassereddine Shah Qajar. This quirkiness on a nomadic rug is endearingly sweet. The same crowned king appears in mirror symmetry below the lion.

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

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!
