Warm and high-class antique Persian rug from the workshops of the legendary Grand Master Mohammad Dabir al Sanayeh of Kashan.
Burgundy and indigo tones form the backdrop, with wonderfully undulating vinery scrolls and sprays of Jasmin and geranium buds. Master Dabir's trademark cypress trees and flowering vases form the primary motifs of this richly decorated masterpiece.
The signature cartouche at the top bears the artist's signature. All perfect condition with full pile, original complete ends, and soft Manchester kork lambswool.
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 🇭🇰
“I 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 🇸🇦
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
