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.

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 🇱🇧
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 🇦🇺
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
