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

I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. ๐ฌ๐ง
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
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.
