An unusually small Heriz rug with attractive abrash across its field, all the way from baby blue to sky blue then navy blue. Such sprawling patterns, leafy and sporadic, are termed π«ππππ§ππ in Persian, explaining the etymology of the commonly used word for 'sampler'. It is debatable whether the present carpet, beautiful and irrepressible as it is, is actually a sampler. It has a truly unique visual and frankly odd size.
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!

As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong ππ°
