This is a rare instance of an authentic first-generation Tudeshk from the hands of the legendary Grand Master Sadeghi. He was one of the first to establish carpet weaving workshops in Tudeshk and Nain following the sudden demise of the 'abaya trade. His carpets are renowned for their tremendous beauty, all-time classic appeal, and extraordinary finesse. These factors shine across in this magnificent example. The quality of the natural dyes is absolutely majestic, with a brilliant sky blue and an attractive shade of red that would become a signature tone for Tudeshk rugs. FYI the Habibian brothers, who established their own workshops in Nain circa 1960, apprenticed in Salehi's atelier.
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
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 🇱🇧
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
