Story

It is extremely rare to find a pure silk Tehran rug. I have seen 4 in my career so far and that makes them one of the rarest types to have. This beautifully articulated masterpiece has an attractive calligraphic border, the central bottom cartouche of which is signed "Baft-e Tehran, Amal-e Kardan". This means it was woven in the city of Tehran by the weaver "Kardan". The signature certifies its authenticity and it is a very very exceptional feature. A signed silk Tehran!

The carpet itself presents a landscape of exotic beasts and birds. Flocks of Phoenix birds with exotically fluffy tail feathers flutter around the medallion and spandrels while animal combat scenes occupy the blood red field.

What our customers say!

“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

 

 

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 🇭🇰

 

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.
