Another masterpiece from the endlessly creative and tasteful weavers of old Heriz back in the 1800s. This time itβs something far rarer than usual.
This is the only Heriz Garden carpet of Chaharbagh style that Iβve 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
Available to our dear clients all around the π
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
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!

I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. π¬π§
