Story

One of the 3 principal design themes of early Tehran carpets was the Garrus split leaf arabesque that was made famous in Bijar. This goes back to the central figure of Ali Reza Khan Garrusi, a native feudal lord of Garrus who rose to become commander of the Qajar army. When he moved to Tehran with his fancy carpets, the princes and dignitaries at court were alerted to the high status and beauty of this design. It remains rare to find a Garrus design on a Qajar Tehran.

“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 🇦🇺

 

“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 🇸🇦
