Story

On my quest to find you the awesomest antique rugs in the world, I bring you this:

The largest Millefleurs Kashkuli carpet on record thatโ€™s also signed by the Qashqai khan (tribal chief) who commissioned it + date of creation!

It was made for Khosrow Khan Qashqai in the year 1321 (1903) ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

In the unique size format 3 x 2 meters;

Wool pile on wool foundation in that sturdy Kashkuli weave;

With glorious natural dyes โ€” especially a brilliant blue, gorgeous green and radiant red.

The handsomely large size creates a more expansive and much more expressive garden layout, with bolder motifs and higher artistic depth to them both individually and as a whole.

Available + collectible on a supremely high level. Please DM for price.

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

 

Jโ€™ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prรฉparation de lโ€™exposition ยซ Lโ€™Empire des roses, chefs-dโ€™ล“uvre de lโ€™art 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. Jโ€™avais alors รฉtรฉ impressionnรฉe par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquรฉ le dรฉbut dโ€™une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musรฉe du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes sโ€™enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains nโ€™ont pas leur รฉquivalent dans les musรฉes occidentaux. Ce que jโ€™apprรฉcie chez Hadi ? Cโ€™est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et lโ€™engouement quโ€™il a pour son mรฉtier !
