A dramatic turquoise landscape of regal majesty and timeless appeal. This is one of the largest ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข (Millefleurs) design carpets in existence. Instead of the traditional indigo dark blue, here we have a celestial sky blue which is serene and uplifting.
This suggests it was made for a Qajar era palace in one of the royal ateliers attached.
Full pile, perfect condition, never used.
Museum quality collectible.
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.
