This is the first and only Seirafian rug Iโve seen where the designerโs name is explicitly knotted within the design. Grand Master Bahadoriโs name is inscribed 4๏ธโฃ times, next to each of the 4๏ธโฃ corner elements. It speaks a lot about the respect Haj Sadegh had for Bahadori, and the latterโs reputation, that he included his name 4๏ธโฃ fantastic times.
The corner spandrels each contain the hidden form of a gorgeous blue butterfly. Can you see it? Isnโt it amazing? The border contains further happy surprises, in the guise of multitudes of chirping birds.
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 ๐ฑ๐ง
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 ๐ฐ๐ผ
