Grand Master Safa Zadeh of Kashan & the eternal charm of the architectural prayer rug
I just love how the mehrab architectural niche incorporates design ornaments from what would usually be the central medallion of a Safa Zadeh Kashan. Sublime, unadulterated, pure genius.
Please observe and admire the various artistic elements in the architecture (columns, lantern, vase) and the naturalistic motifs (flowers, shrubs, flowers). How stupefyingly gorgeous are they?
NB/PS actual Persian urban workshop prayer carpets are pretty rare. There are many mehrab patterns, very few of which actually have real prayer design or usage.
Safa Zadeh is arguably the most accomplished Kashani artist, Dabir aside, of the Reza Shah period (1925-1941),
Super perfect condition
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 π±π§
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
βYou donβt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itβs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!β Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia π¦πΊ
