This pair is big news indeed. The Amoghly brothers are the single most important and famous carpet weavers in the entirety of Persian carpet history, with a royal warrant from Reza Shah (1925-1941) for all the Pahlavi palaces. Their carpets were notoriously large as a result and generally ornate and complex in design. Small Amoghly rugs are not thought to exist. This pair is an exception to that and is more modernist in aesthetic and was woven as samplers for workshop weavers to learn new designs.
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
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! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
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
