A rare tribal rug from the Afshar nomads, with compartments depicting flowering vases. Excellent and high grade natural dyes that are cleverly uses with a negatively colored central column of compartments offsetting the light side of the ones to the right and left. The pattern is quite intricate and indubitably has urban provenance, most likely from nearby Kerman carpets that in turn were inspired by European Romantic art of the 1800s.
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 🇱🇧
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
“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 🇦🇺
