Story

It is indeed a wonderful world when you stumble across such startling masterpieces of folk art and cultural resonance.

This is the largest Malayer I have ever seen. It is also the most ambitious 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐑𝐞𝐫 & 𝐂𝐑𝐒π₯𝐝 or 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐑 carpet I have seen. The scale is gigantic really. A mighty Lion 🦁 and Sun 🌞 element proudly stands at each corner of the field. This is the ancient 𝐒𝐑𝐒𝐫 𝐨 𝐊𝐑𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐑𝐒𝐝, the emblem of Persian royalty and kingship. Which confirms this carpet was commissioned for a royal palace.

It survives in perfect condition and has a most attractive border of calligraphy in π™‰π™–π™¨π™©π™–π™‘π™žπ™¦ Persian poetry. In the lower border we read that the carpet was commissioned on the occasion of 𝐄𝐒𝐝 𝐀π₯ π†π‘πšππ’π«, a very important occasion for Shia Iranians. The upper border tells us this was in the Hijri year 1318 (1899 CE).

The photo is not in highest resolution given the sheer scale of dimensions. Please email or DM me for crisper full photos and detailed closeups.

What our customers say!

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ό

 

 

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‡¦
