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.

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 !

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait ๐ฐ๐ผ
