Insanely fine, captivatingly rich, endlessly endearing. This looks like a fine Kork Kashan but is in fact a tremendous artwork produced in Qazvin in north Persia using similar colors and styles. The quality of the ultra soft Kork baby lambswool is like a puffy cloud come to life.
The pattern is dense but not crowded, elegant and classic but not dΓ©ja vΓΉ. The combination of saturated indigo and burgundy is an all time classic. The medallion is not a rehashed or repeated shape but is its own unique thing. The flowers will speak for themselves.
Perfect condition, perfect drawing, perfect balance.
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.

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!
