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
๐๐๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง 1336 (1917) ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐๐จ๐จ๐๐

I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. ๐ฌ๐ง
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!

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 ๐ฑ๐ง
