Story

Another masterpiece from the endlessly creative and tasteful weavers of old Heriz back in the 1800s. This time it’s something far rarer than usual.

This is the only Heriz Garden carpet of Chaharbagh style that I’ve 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

What our customers say!

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.

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

 

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ό
