This is one of the earliest works from the workshop of Grand Master Dabir in Kashan, before he started signing his name. Typical features include the extra fine Kork Manchester lambswool, the non classical design, and the refined, saturated natural dyes.
The field consists of a sprawling landmass of eight-pointed stars, that float geometrically above an endless patch of lush vegetation. In the center we see a graceful medallion that mirrors the tree-lined patterning of the 4 spandrels. These sections hearken back to 19th century Mohtasham rugs of the "Joshaghan" period.
Spectacularly conceived and admirably executed antique Persian masterpiece.
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 🇱🇧
“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 🇦🇺
“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 🇸🇦
