Majestic, epic, and remarkably rewarding.
This is one of the more beautiful antique Kashan Kork rugs I have seen. The directional design offers a unique take on the landscape theme popular in Kashan in the early 20th century. Floral forms of various formats rise from the base, intertwining and diverging to create flowery waves and natural pools of heavenly vegetation. 6 open windows, so to speak, appear which allow us to peer into the distance and observe attractive architectural sceneries and scampering animals. It is full of astonishing detail and graceful elegance. Woven with fine kork lambswool and perfectly preserved.
I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A. Harvey Pincis, formerly Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah Museum (Kuwait), Latvia π±π»
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§
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
