Story

This is an invaluable historical document, portraying as it does Reza Khan during his brief tenure as Minister of War prior to acceding to the throne as Reza Shah Pahlavi.

(this being his ceremonial title, roughly meaning "Blessed Commander-in-Chief")

The rug has a medal-like layout with the heraldic coat of arms of the Qajar dynasty all round him. Note the distinctively 19th century style ๐’๐ก๐ข๐ซ ๐จ ๐Š๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ (lion and sun) emblem. Reza Khan's cap is still that of the Cossack legion he commanded and not yet the royal crown for which he became famous.

What our customers say!

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง

 

 

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

 

โ€œI practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadiโ€™s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ€ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
