Story

One of the finest Kashan carpets to ever grace our collection and also one of the best to ever live. The quality of the Kork baby lambswool is exquisite, as are the sweet natural dyes (please ask for closeups if interested to buy). Aesthetically speaking, the Shah Abbas all over pattern of lotus flowers and arabesque palmettes is more intricately rewarding than the "classical" more common types seen in the 1930s and 1940s.

The carpet is rare for a number of reasons:
- this particular creamy shade of ivory, marking a transition from the Mohtasham school of the 19th century. By the 1920s dark indigo blue was the dominant color in Kashan weavings.
- the somewhat squarish size
- the elaborate detailing and layout of the Shah Abbas
- the distinguished provenance of the piece, in a leading German collection since the 1960s with documentation.
- utterly perfect condition

β€œI practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦

 

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ό
