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.
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! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
“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 🇦🇺
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 🇱🇧
