This is one of a number of related antique Farahan area rugs with similar designs and inscriptions. They were made as dedicatory gifts for the occasion of ๐๐ค๐ฌ๐ง๐ช๐ฏ, the Persian new year. In this case we have a lovely golden tone with a dedication that says:
๐๐ค๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐จ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ 1336

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.

โYou donโt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐ฆ๐บ
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!
