60,000 rhyming couples from the Shahnameh, the Persian Book of Kings, in a single carpet.
Is this the most beautiful carpet we have ever had in our 115 year history?
This palace carpet was unveiled on the occasion of our 10,000th Instagram posting. It was created at the behest of a Qajar prince back in the mid 1800s and, miraculously, has survived in all its radiant beauty.
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
