Mezmerizing and breathtaking!
A once in a lifetime kind of artwork that steals your heartbeat and leaves you wondering whether you actually believe your sight or not. This utterly fabulous masterpiece was woven in Kashan and reverses the classic formula for top end pieces. Instead of having a wool ground with silken highlights, we get a fully silk rug here with woolen highlights in the silhouettes of the motifs and the guard stripes.
The design is rich, full and packed. Every single section, no matter how small, is replete with gorgeous detailing. If interested in acquiring this museum grade masterpiece, please contact me to see the closeups. The silk glistens, glitters and glimmers as light hits it from different directions.
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 π°πΌ
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
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!
