Back in the 19th century, Malayer weavers created some of the finest small rugs in Persia and the world. Large ones were few and extremely rare because their looms were very narrow (95% of production was small qaliches or thin runners or kellehs). Such XXL artworks were commissioned by special order from the Qajar aristocracy for their palaces and the richest merchants for their town house mansions.

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealerβs description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.
