Story

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

What our customers say!

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. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

 

 

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A. Harvey Pincis, formerly Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah Museum (Kuwait), Latvia πŸ‡±πŸ‡»

 

β€œI practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦
