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.
βYou donβt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itβs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!β Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia π¦πΊ
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§
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 ππ°
