A rare portrait of the last Qajar Shah woven in Tabriz. He is still young so the rug was seemingly woven early on in his reign (1909-1925). It was probably based on a photograph taken in Tehran and sent to the workshop in Tabriz.
He seems to be enthroned in his royal palace at Niavaran, namely in the annex named after him whose construction he oversaw. The royal red background is striking.
The poshti size is rare and the quality of wool and weave quite unusually high grade for Tabriz in the Qajar period.
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
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
