Of unique design and outstanding beauty, this is the finest output from the famed Hajji Jalili school of Tabriz that we have sampled. An elegantly flowering vase is flanked by two cypress trees of life that rise up in stepped bulges of leafy foliage. The quality of design is impeccable and far from the ordinary for Persian carpets, old or new. The same goes for the quality of the natural dyes and the impeccable good taste with which they are matched.
The border is handsome with its winding vinery and smartly drawn birds. The composition is crowned by a graceful ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ niche at the top, resting on two sets of triple architectural columns. Two inscriptions may be read at the bottom:
The first reads:
๐พ๐ค๐ข๐ข๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ญ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ฃ๐๐ฎ, ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ก๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ง๐ค๐ก๐ก๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ, ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐จ๐-๐ฝ๐๐จ๐๐ (๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐พ๐ค๐ช๐ง๐ฉ)
The second is a more direct ๐๐ค๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐, a dedicatory message of congratulations to the recipient.
Perfect condition with full pile, this is a top level Collector Carpet.
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!

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 ๐ญ๐ฐ
