Mindbending Mishan Malayer Wedding Rug with spellbinding colors and sidewinding motifs!
A dozen Shisha smoking locals in Qajar costume; 8 men and 4 ladies; 4 Khorshid Khanom Sun 🌞 faced ladies; 4 prancing #peacocks 🦚; and 2 pumping Samovars full of hot brewed tea 🫖
All against a smashing Gol Farang millefleurs flower field on a stark midnight blue open field.
The finest weaving quality and in perfect condition. Please refer to the closeups of the backside and the pile. Intact end kilim and original fringes.
A collector’s dream— truly the awesomest flowery Mishan Malayer I’ve seen this side of the Shisha smoke.

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 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 🇸🇦
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 🇱🇧
