This is one of the finest rugs signed by the legendary Grand Master Mohammad Dabir Al Sanaye of Kashan. It is exquisitely crafted from start to finish, with the finest Kork Manchester baby lambswool and a splendid range of the sweetest natural dyes.
Aesthetically, the all over Shah Abbas pattern of palmettes and floral forms is designed and arranged in a most impressive manner. The detailing of the motifs and absolute richness of the overall design are overwhelming.
A truly collectible gem of the highest order.
You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon π±π§
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 ππ°
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
