Story

A very sweetly attractive antique Kerman depicting the last of the Qajar monarchs, the boy king Ahmad Shah. He stands by his throne as a dervish (Noor Ali Shah?) approaches.

The inscription above says:

وارث تاج نگين خسروان احمد شاه

"Ahmad Shah, the heir to the precious crown of the Khosrows" i.e. the ancient pre-Islamic Shahanshahs of Persia, thereby giving him a continuity that is over 2,500 years old.

Perfect condition.

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida 🇺🇸

 

You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon 🇱🇧
