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.

“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 🇸🇦
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 🇦🇺
