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.

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§
