The finesse of drawing and the quality of natural dyes in this outrageously beautiful Kerman masterpiece are beyond compare. I absolutely and totally love it. The Shah & Prince 👑 are as realistic as any Qajar painting while the background architecture and animals imbue the carpet with vivid charm. And the colors!
Just back from its first spa since the XIX Century! Commissioned & signed by the famous duo Milani & Shoar. It seems to depict Mohammad Shah Qajar (1834-1848), being the only Qajar ruler with a short beard.
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
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
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 🇰🇼
