A breathtaking masterpiece by the most legendary Grand Master ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐๐ง. One of the earliest and largest carpets he ever made; also one of the most powerful and beautiful antique Persian carpets on the planet ๐
It seems to be the oldest extant Isfahan rug with the ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐๐ design, inspired by the turquoise tiled domes of the 16/17th century mosques and palaces of the Safavid capital, making it a very important art historical landmark ๐
It is a grandiose and majestic undertaking, reflecting Haj Sadeghโs sheer ambition and terrific dedication to his art. The absolute consistency of detailing and the marvellous perfection of design are imperious ๐
The carpet is built on formidable mathematical foundations. As a student of higher mathematics, I was impressed to discover that the ๐๐จ๐ก๐๐ข๐ spirals are based on the Fibonacci sequence and the resultant arithmetic - geometric spiral๐
One of the most exclusive & rare artworks of pure luxury and supreme artistry.

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 have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. ๐ฌ๐ง
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
