Story

The most distinctive of all Qajar carpets are those woven in the palace workshops of Tehran in the famous Millefleurs or ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ซ ๐˜’๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช style. Derived from 17th century Mughal Indian masterpieces woven at the court of Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb, they gained popularity at the court of Nassereddine Shah Qajar in the 1800s. Their rich directional designs are full of breathtaking floral forms, a thousand and one blossoms coming together to give the pattern its name. The common elements across all Millefleurs carpets are the symbolic ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ prayer niche and the ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ vase. Further aesthetic power is yielded by the use of attractive green dyes, a feature rarely seen on other 19th century carpets.

Here, we see all the above. Except doubled.
Here, we have twin Millefleurs rugs. Beauty raised to a higher power.

What our customers say!

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ

 

 

Jโ€™ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prรฉparation de lโ€™exposition ยซ Lโ€™Empire des roses, chefs-dโ€™ล“uvre de lโ€™art persan du 19รจme siรจcle ยป qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et ร  laquelle il a participรฉ par le prรชt de tapis exceptionnels. Jโ€™avais alors รฉtรฉ impressionnรฉe par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquรฉ le dรฉbut dโ€™une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musรฉe du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes sโ€™enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains nโ€™ont pas leur รฉquivalent dans les musรฉes occidentaux. Ce que jโ€™apprรฉcie chez Hadi ? Cโ€™est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et lโ€™engouement quโ€™il a pour son mรฉtier !
