Regal and impressive, this is a textbook Serapi of the "catalog cover" type that graced the interiors of some of the world's most beautiful mansions and the covers of some of the most memorable interior design magazines.
The plain field is woven with off-white dyed wool with a celadon twinge reminiscent of early medieval Chinese ceramics. It's a shade of ivory that veers on green.
The imposing medallion undulates most magnificently and takes the breath away. It is quite a formidable decorative statement. Earthy tones, easy on the eye, a memorable sight.
βYou donβt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itβs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!β Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia π¦πΊ
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!
