Story

🔹Depicting one of the most famous kings of Persia, Nader Shah Afshar

🔸Commissioned by the Qajar Prince Abdol Hossein Mirza, known by his ceremonial titles of Farman Farma and Salar Lashgar.

🔹In the year 1326 (1908), after ruling the province of Kerman for many years, during which he became acquainted with its carpet workshops firsthand.

🔸Farman Farma was arguably the most powerful man in Persia in the 15 years leading to the Constitutional Revolution. He held a number of government ministries, provincial governorships and was also the Commander of the Qajar Army.

🔹To us he stands as the foremost carpet collector of his day. A number of his signed pieces are in the Carpet Museum of Iran in Tehran . The designs he commissioned were replicated by other weavers.

So if you’ve seen Nader Shah on a Kerman, it’s a copy of this!

What our customers say!

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F. Alsagoff, Singapore

 

 

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A. Harvey Pincis, formerly Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah Museum (Kuwait), Latvia 🇱🇻

 

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 🇱🇧
