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
โYou donโt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐ฆ๐บ
Jโai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prรฉparation de lโexposition ยซ LโEmpire des roses, chefs-dโลuvre de lโart persan du 19รจme siรจcle ยป qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et ร laquelle il a participรฉ par le prรชt de tapis exceptionnels. Jโavais alors รฉtรฉ impressionnรฉe par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquรฉ le dรฉbut dโune collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musรฉe du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes sโenrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains nโont pas leur รฉquivalent dans les musรฉes occidentaux. Ce que jโapprรฉcie chez Hadi ? Cโest son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et lโengouement quโil a pour son mรฉtier !

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
