Another masterpiece from the endlessly creative and tasteful weavers of old Heriz back in the 1800s. This time itโs something far rarer than usual.
This is the only Heriz Garden carpet of Chaharbagh style that Iโve seen. The inspiration is ancient and goes back to at least the Achaemenid period circa 500 BC, and has been depicted on Persian carpets since the Safavid period at least.
Water ponds and channels enclose sections of flowers and vegetation. The rectilinear connectors are water channels but the diagonally slanted ones seem to be curling dragons, adapted or adopted form far older medieval traditions such as the archaic Caucasian Dragon carpets and Dragon sumakhs.
Quite possibly unique;
Highly decorative too with its ivory cream field and pops of sky blue and pistachio green. The border is quite lovely too I find.
All original perfect condition

โI 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. Hadiโs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐ธ๐ฆ
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
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.
