Story

A noble Qajar dynasty masterpiece with one of the most remarkable renditions of the Millefleurs (Haj Khanomi) pattern: flowering vase, bowls of fruit, and 1,001 flowers radiating upwards from ground to sky.

The quality is sensational, both of weave and of materials (especially the vivid, vivacious dyes). The size is more generous than usual for a ghaliche. The border with its diagonal stripes imparts additional mesmerizing charm.

The main draws the grand signature by one of the legends of first generation Tehran weaving: Ostad Asghar. The mention of the locale, Tehran, is of extreme importance for establishing the Qajar capital as a major center of carpet weaving.

What our customers say!

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 🇰🇼

 

 

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

 

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!
