Story

In the forest .. a mighty Bakhtiari tribal rug rises.
This is a delightful and beautiful carpet with a fantastic rendition of the 18th century Bid Majnun (Weeping Willow) design, named after the drooping willow tree under which Majnun Layla sat and wept for his beloved. Legend has it that the tree wept too, hence the name.

Please refer to Chapter 5 of my book 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗲𝘁: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝟭𝟳𝟮𝟮-𝟭𝟴𝟳𝟮 for the history and development of this famous pattern.

This particular carpet brings out the best and strongest features of the group. Utterly magnificent natural dyes spread over a sparkling range of vibrant colors + a dense, rich forest with a panoply of trees including willows, cherry blossoms, and cypresses.

Perfect condition, full pile, original fringes.

What our customers say!

You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon 🇱🇧

 

 

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F. Alsagoff, Singapore

 

“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
