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.
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 ππ°
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!

βI 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. Hadiβs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.β Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦
