Uniqueness comes in many ways.
This is the only extant Seirafian whereby the designerโs name is signed in addition to the producer. Its occurrence 4 times reveals the deep respect and affection that Grand Master Sadegh had for this renowned artist.
This isnโt a standard medallion design. Bahadori presented Sadegh with something far lovelier than the repeated Seirafian Toranj-Eslimi pattern.
He placed a gorgeous ๐ฆ in each corner and an entire flock of lovebirds ๐ฆ in the border. The medallion itself is a marvellous sunburst โ๏ธ surrounded by mature ๐ชท lotus flowers ๐บ Absolutely magical โจ
The coloration is sweet and attractive, very harmonious and subtle. Earth tones dominate the ground and border but a very subtle turquoise blue brings everything together and everything to life ๐

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!

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 ๐ญ๐ฐ
