Story

The legendary master weaver was, along with Mulla Mohammad Hasan Mohtasham, the single most important carpet artist of the 19th century. He is credited with introducing the Gol Farang rose bouquet design to Persian carpets (this being a stellar example) and was the personal weaver to Nassereddine Shah Qajar during the 1860s thru to the 1880s. Ostad Hossein designed and wove remarkably large and beautiful carpets for the Shah. A brilliant small one survived in the Golestan Palace and was moved in 1977 to the Carpet Museum of Iran.

This harmonious rug is flowery delight. In a sense it is a bouquet of roses itself. The senses of color, poise, scale and balance are mature and confident, tasteful and pretty. The Grand Master's famous signature crowns the composition in the upper border, along with a date. Using such dated examples I was able, in my PhD thesis, to trace the trajectory and development of his style.

What our customers say!

As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong 🇭🇰

 

 

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 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. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
