A most excellent example of one of the most famous styles from the Qajar workshops in the royal capital Tehran.
The combination of turquoise blue border and saffron yellow field is always a winner. The Paradise Park theme centers on twin Trees of Life rising gracefully from the Earth, where lions and deer are stationed, up to the skies where so many kinds of exotic birds π¦
are perched. There's even a monkey π΅ climbing the tree! In the border, meanwhile, leopards π (or tigers π
) chase scampering deer 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°
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§
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!
