For almost a century, the fabled carpets of Grand Master Atayi of Kashan have been sought after by Arab collectors, much as Persians seek Dabir and western collectors desire Mohtasham. But the Atayi brand signature is devilishly difficult to find on surviving carpets. So if you need one to satisfy your cravings, who ya gonna call?

Fear not โ hereโs one in excellent condition, plus in a very rare 3 x 2 size and with an exquisite creme field. The drawing is exquisitely poised, with tremendous flow and restrained balance. The silhouettes of the artfully rendered motifs, combined with the frankly gorgeous colors, create a dazzling display of beautiful and timeless Persian art. The lotus ๐ชท palmettes and the ballerina botehs take the viewer on a tour de force of sheer beauty, while the โdoornamaโ landscape in the center transports them to another world.
With love,

Finally back from its first spa ๐งโโ๏ธ wash in 100 years and ready to join you at home ๐ก
I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. ๐ฌ๐ง
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 ๐ฑ๐ป
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 ๐ฐ๐ผ
