Story

Interesting fact: this rare pictorial depiction of the last Qajar monarch is sepia tinted with no other colors because it is inspired by / copied from a "black and white" photograph, as they were back in the very early 1900s.

It was woven in the famed Hajji Jalili atelier in Tabriz.

We see the young Shah in his regal attire in a solemn pose. He would have posed for hours and hours for the photographer. Who knows, perhaps an artist was painting him simultaneously.

The inscription at the bottom reinforces this historical background. It says:

The glorious king of the Constitution, Soltan Ahmad Shah Qajar, may God preserve his rule.

What our customers say!

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

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
