Story

A royal Qajar masterpiece signed “The work of Ostad Ali Akbar Kermani, 1297 (1878).”

عمل استاد علي اكبر كرماني ١٢٩٧

This is a museum grade collectible antique artwork, from a very exclusive group of carpets woven for the Qajar dynasty in the 3rd quarter of the XIX century and influenced by imperial French art and styles from the court of Napoleon III. This is my most recent acquisition and fewer than 10 signed pieces by eminent Kerman masters exist. I lent a few to the Louvre Museum in France in 2018 for the landmark exhibition L’Empire Des Roses 🌹 which focused on royal Qajar art of the 1800s. The present masterpiece is as good as any in that catalog.

What our customers say!

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F. Alsagoff, Singapore

 

 

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A. Harvey Pincis, formerly Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah Museum (Kuwait), Latvia 🇱🇻

 

“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
