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.
Perfect condition
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong ๐ญ๐ฐ
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
Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.
