Story

This is one of the two best silk Mohtashams I have handled (the other is sold www.hadimaktabi.com/carpet/38). It is one of the oldest, most pristine and most beautiful.

The range of colors is exuberantly impressive, Master Mohtasham leaning in on his deep arsenal of world beating natural dyes. The drawing is very elegant and balanced, with terrific poise and confidence. It is all supremely beautiful too.

Condition is by far finer than any old Kashan I have encountered. Full pile, total lack of cracking or humidity, very lush fringes and the widest kilim end I've seen on a silk.

For rug lovers and carpet collectors, it is really hard to recommend a piece finer than this.

What our customers say!

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 🇦🇺

 

 

As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong 🇭🇰

 

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.
