This is the finest and sweetest Tabriz from the atelier of Haj Jalili that I've seen. It evidently is a ππ¦π§π’π³π¦π΄π©πͺ commission due to the unique size and unforgettable design.
The plain ππ’π§ ππ’π₯π¦π© field offers suitable minimalist contrast to the incredible conflagration of animals and birds. The rich medallion is made exponentially richer by the denizens of lovebirds and parrots π¦
The corners are outlined by intertwining serpents π that imprison lions π¦ chasing deer π¦ with further gazelles lining the complex tree avenue border.
Truly more complex and ambitious than any of his other creations, with fine knotting and exquisite Kurdistan rather than Tabrizi wool.
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!

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait π°πΌ
