A very sweet yet regally imposing antique Tabriz from the exclusive Ψ―ΩΨ± ΩΩ
Ψ§ ππ€π€π§ π£ππ’π group of landscape rugs. It combines so many diverse design elements yet is a masterpiece of early Pahlavi art.
The undeniably attractive central panel features a pictorial pastoral scene of a young shepherd, barefoot, lost in thought as he tends his flock π against a dramatic backdrop of clear blue skies and sullen mountains.
The burgundy red field all around is rich with lotus flowers and arabesque ππ¨π‘ππ’π decor, sublime and detailed. 4 further pictorial scenes and 8 flowery panels line the edges of the field.
Further along in the border we find even deeper symbology rooted in the then popular π―ππ§π πππ π style of archaeological excavation. Massive ancient ceramic and metal vessels line the border, along with a series of monumental depictions of highlights from the great pantheon of Persian architecture.
All this wrapped in one stunning carpet that will tell a thousand stories once it reaches your home. Full pile and ready to go.
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 dealerβs 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.

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 π°πΌ
