Story

Very few pairs of carpets were woven in the Qajar capital of Tehran. I have only seen (and had) 3 pairs in my career. This duo is very special for depicting the famous Cypress, the ancient Tree Of Life that remained evergreen and symbolized longevity and continuity, in this life and the next. The two pieces are identical and both are in perfect, pristine condition. Top notch collectible masterpieces. They employ a very vivid natural green dye. Note the subsidiary cypress trees either side of the main one.

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
